M.C. London Gazette 23 April 1918: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in continuing to assist in laying out new lines to the batteries after having been himself half buried by a shell. During many days operations it was entirely due to his fine example that communications from brigade headquarters to the batteries were kept intact.’
