Biography contributed by Faithe Jones
Military Cross
'For conspicuous gallantry near Proyart, on 23rd-26th August 1918. He took six men through a wood still occupied by the enemy, and advanced some 600 yards beyond, over open country and through heavy machine gun fire. He put one gun out of action and rushed another gun, shooting the gunner. He then established a post which commanded the approach to the wood, and held it with his remaining four men for five hours.'
