D.C.M. London Gazette 16 August 1917: ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his battery was being shelled he superintended the collecting and removal of the wounded, setting a fine example of coolness and indifference to his own personal safety. He has, on several occasions, behaved in a similar manner, notably on one occasion, in clearing the congestion of traffic which had been thrown into confusion at some cross roads by shell fire.’
