Military Cross For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty in action. When the enemy made a
determined assault and drove our men from
their position, he rallied the men, and with
great courage and daring led them back to the
attack. All day, till wounded, he directed the
fire of his machine-gun section, continually
visiting different parts of the firing line under
heavy shell, rifle, and machine-gun fire.
