Personal Stories
Military Cross
'For good work and devotion of duty, firstly while the Battalion was in the Trenches at BOIS GRENIER from 5th to 13th July, and later at POZIERS from 6th to 13th August, and 26th to 30th August 1916.
This Officer controlled the whole of the Administrative work during these times, and thus allowed me to have the whole of my time free to deal with the Tactical situation. On each occasion before the Battalion moved into the POZIERES Line, he personally reconnoitered the position. His work with this Battalion since its formation two years ago, has been exceptional.'
