Military Cross
'For conspicuous gallantry and able leadership. This officer, in command of the left company during a night attack, led his men through hostile shell and machine gun fire to the final objective, where he quickly re-organized and consolidated. The two companies in this attack were so well led that they advanced 2,000 yards and captured 182 prisoners at the cost of only five men wounded.'
