'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Captain Wilson commanded his Company in the battle of Messines on the 7th June 1917, leading it great coolness and courage through the village, and even after been wounded he still carried on encouraging his men until he became exhausted. He refused to leave the line although badly wounded until he had sent reports to Battalion Headquarters and reorganised his Company. Captain Wilson has been seriously wounded on three occasions during this war and I consider him deserving of special distinction.'

'Operations: Bapaume area. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the recent advance in the Bapaume area. This Officer commanded a Battalion during the recent operations from 6th August 1918 to 13th September 1918. On each of the three occasions on which his Battalion was engaged his skilful dispositions ensured a minimum of casualties and were crowned with success. His complete contempt of danger, his cheerfulness and personal leadership inspired all ranks under him with confidence and determination. This Officer has always shown conspicuous energy and initiative and set a fine example of devotion to duty. His tactical and administrative abilities are markedly high.'
