D.C.M. London Gazette 5 December 1918: ‘For conspicuous gallantry during an attack. When his platoon was held up by an enemy machine gun he dashed forward, threw a couple of bombs and rushed the machine gun single-handed, killing the gunner and capturing the gun and the remainder of the team. His fine act of courage set a splendid example.’
