Military Cross
'For conspicuous galantry and devotion to duty during the action near Moutbrehain, on 5th October 1918. Two guns were knocked out by heavy enemy fire, the other section commander killed, and several casualties on detachments inflicted. Throughout this most trying period he continued to control the service of his guns and maintained the barrage fire so urgently necessary to the atacking infantry.'
