'On 4th November 1918, during operations in the Foret de Mormal this Officer displayed great courage and resourcefulness in operating with the forward guns. His duties necessitated his continually passing through heavy machine-gun and artillery fire. He personally conducted all supplies of S.A.A. and rations over most difficult country, and it was entirely due to his energies that the allotted tasks of the Company were carried out. As a Lieutenant this Officer commanded a Machine-gun Company throughout the arduous fighting about Passchendaele in a most capable manner, he was specially mentioned in Sir D. Haig?s Despatch of 7-4-18. This Officer has at all times set a most inspiring example to all ranks, and all duties that he has undertaken during the past three years have been cheerfully and courageously carried out as to deserve special recognition.'
