Military Cross 'During the attack on Amman on 25th September, 1918, he skillfully led his troops down a wadi, and coming upon a body of the enemy with three 75mm guns and
four machine guns, rushed the head of the column, shooting those who tried to escape and capturing the remainder. By his coolness under fire and the bold and skilful way in which he led his troops he set a splendid example to his men.'
