Military Medal 'Operations Gravenstafel - 1st October to 5th October 1917. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Whilst in Command of a Platoon holding forward Posts he showed great coolness and disregard of danger. During heavy shelling on the night 2nd/3rd October he continually visited his Posts and heartened his men. An enemy attack against his Posts was quickly dispersed by his prompt action and control of fire. Throughout the four days, from 30th September to 3rd October 1917, he showed great bravery and by his disregard of personal safety he inspired his Platoon with confidence.'
