Military Cross 'In the attack on the Switch Line, Southeast of High Wood, on 15th September 1916. This officer, though wounded in the hand during the advance, refused to go
to the dressing station and preferred to remain with his battalion as so many of his brother officers had fallen. He remained and sited the New Switch Line and helped to consolidate it for eighteen hours until relieved by another battalion. His example had a most inspiring effect on the men who continued the consolidation all day under heavy shell fire.'
