Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on 1st Novemeber 1918, south of Valenciennes. He was ordered to reconnoitre with a patrol beyond the final objective. Finding this impracticable owing to the proximity of the enemy, he at once joined in with the Infantry, who were few and hard pressed, and helped them through the day, especially in repelling a counter-attack. At the close of the day he sent in a clear report on the events in his area.'
