Bar to Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and good leadership. He closely pursued the enemy, and effectively supported another company in their attack, by which three machine guns and many prisoners were captured without loss to our men. He afterwards defeated a heavy counter attack by the enemy, very few of whom regained their own lines. He displayed marked capacity of command, and his example of personal
courage inspired all around him.'
Source: London Gazette Date: Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When in charge of a tractor line, which was supplying batteries with ammunition, he showed the greatest the most untiring energy in successfully carrying out the work by day and night, although the line was steadily shelled for over a week, and was continually being wrecked. His fine example was a great inspiration to all ranks.'
