Military Cross
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When our troops were being subjected to sniping, he pushed his company forward, brushing aside all opposition, and established a line well ahead. He also commanded a successful night raid, capturing ten prisoners and inflicting many casualties.'
