Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in personally taking a convoy of ammunition to its destination under exceptionally diffcult and trying circumstances. In spite of intense gas shelling and having to deal with an almost impassable river, trenches, wire and other obstacles, he brought his convoy through with the greatest skill and initiative, setting a splendid example to his men.'
