Source: London Gazette Date: Military Cross 'This Officer is very keen and plucky, and ever eager to go to any point, however heavily shelled, from which he can best shoot his battery. At Armentieres, like other B.C. he had to take up new positions at very short notice, and has always done excellent work. On the Somme he has been under the counter battery group. His work is worthy of special mention. He did good work as Forward Observation Officer at Gallipoli till wounded.'
Source: London Gazette Date: Distinguished Service Order 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He fought his battery until the enemy were within 500 yards and his ammunition exhausted, at the same time
rallying Infantry stragglers and manning a fire trench; then made a reconnaissance into a wood, sending back valuable information. He was finally wounded by rifle fire at close range.'
