'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer was in charge of a company when the enemy attack on the right had been successful, and he moved into a switch line to form a defensive flank. He engaged the enemy with Lewis gun and rifle fire, and drove them back. Later the whole line was heavily bombarded and the situation became obscure, no one knowing where the troops on the right were. He walked over what was then "No Mans Land," and after a lengthy search found their left post, and visited the unit commander, all the time being under direct fire from machine guns and rifles.'

'Operations: Becelaere Sector, 9th December 1917 to 22nd February 1918. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the night of the 15th/16th December 1917, this Officer, who is Battalion Intelligence Officer, was in command of a patrol which was sent out to locate the positions of enemy posts. Followed by the patrol left our lines and entered the enemy's wire where he was fired upon by machine guns and rifles from an enemy post. As the garrison of this was too strong for his patrol to engage he ordered the patrol to withdraw, and he covered their movements by remaining behind and firing all his available ammunition. He then proceeded with his patrol, and although bombed by the enemy he succeeded in locating two more of their posts before returning, with his patrol intact to our lines. In his capacity as Battalion Intelligence Officer he has frequently led patrols to the enemy's defences and by his good leadership and fearless and aggressive methods, has gained information of the utmost value. His initiative and coolness have always been of the highest order.'
