Military Cross
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was in charge of artillery roads and mule tracks, supervising their repair and construction, and encouraging the men under shell fire and attacks by aeroplane. His ingenuity in the employment of whatever material came handy, and his determination to complete the work, enabled the roads to be kept open for traffic at all hours.'
