Military Cross 'At Amman, on the 25th September, 1918, when in charge of the advance troop he went forward towards the station with such dash that he demoralized superior numbers of the enemy and opened up our pursuit, which resulted in numbers of prisoners falling into out hands. At one period, under very heavy fire, he manoeuvred his troops with such skill that he checked the enemy?s advance, and,
although dangerously wounded, continued to encourage his men until reinforcements arrived.'
