Bar to Military Cross

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Under continuous shell fire he assisted the R.A.M.C. at their advanced posts in bringing wounded to the light railway trains. By his courage and determination he maintained the train service to the most forward points, thus rendering invaluable aid to ambulance units.'

Military Cross

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On an ammunition truck being set on fire by an enemy shell he instantly rushed to the burning truck and, with the assistance of another man, detached and pushed it from the remainder of the train at grave personal risk. But for his prompt and gallant action the loss of ammunition and rolling stock would undoubtedly have been heavy.'
