Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry in command of a company east of Le Quesnoy, on the 4th November, 1918. He controlled his men with noticeable ability, both when
supervising in assembling and forming up for the advance and later, when leading them in the attack. After the capture of the first objective he rushed forward one of his platoons to fill a gap, thus causing touch to be maintained and the captured
ground to be cleared.'
