Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When only the company commander was left, this warrant officer took charge of the right half of the
company, led it forward, and cleared a wood. He then, with one other non commissioned officer, rushed a trench, capturing two machine-guns and killing the
crews. He then reorganised his men and consolidated in the wood. He set a splendid example to the men.'
