Military Cross
''For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of a half battery in an attack. He moved his section up in close support of the infantry until the final objective was gained. By close co-operation with the infantry he located the enemy preparing for counter attacks, and did much to prevent them being launched.''
