D.C.M., London Gazette, 11 March, 1920: 'For marked gallantry in action. Near Sancourt, on 30th September, 1918, when the Battery was moving to positions under heavy enemy shelling, he, though wounded, stuck to his gun and put it into action. When a lull occurred in the enemy fire, he led the ammunition wagons in and took charge of the unloading of the ammunition.'
