Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Ruyaulcourt on 4th/5th September, 1918. While his regimental aid post was twice heavily shelled and several casualties occurred he continued at duty, binding men up and shifting them to shelter in spite of the heavy bombardment. Again on 7th September, when the regimental aid post had been established on the edge of Havrincourt Wood, near Quotient Avenue, the enemy bombarded the place heavily. Under this fire, which had inflicted a number of casualties, he continued with his work. On both occasions his devotion to duty was admirable.'
