'For conspicuous gallantry near Fremicourt on 30th August, 1918. He acted during the operations as brigade intelligence officer and followed the attacking troops on to the objective. At great personal risk he reconnoitred the position and was able to supply information which was of great value. Again on 12th September, near Gouzeaucourt, he remained in a very forward position to keep in touch with the continually changing situation, and later made a reconnaissance of the line under heavy shell and machine gun fire. During the whole of the operations he continually showed contempt of danger, and sent back clear and accurate reports.'
