| Medals |
Military Cross 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On October 5th, 1918, opposite Bel Aise Farm, and following days, he commanded his company in the front line with the greatest dash and skill, and sent back at every opportunity most valuable information. Prior to the advance on October 8th, his company was heavily shelled, and several casualties were inflicted. His personal leadership maintained the company organisation, and his men started off at exactly the right spot and time. He was shortly afterwards severely wounded, but made the most gallant efforts to continue advancing with his men. He has invariably shown a fine example of coolness and cheerfulness under the most trying circumstances.'
