D.C.M. London Gazette 19 August 1916. ‘For conspicuous bravery and resource during an engagement when he led his men with great courage, to new positions under very heavy fire. After being himself wounded, he remained directing and controlling his men, and giving a splendid example of devotion to duty.’
