D.C.M. London Gazette 5 December 1918. ‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. At a critical moment, when a large number of the enemy were trying to work their way round the exposed left flank of the battalion, he moved his Lewis gun section and drove them back with heavy loss. On a subsequent occasion, though severely wounded, he went on to the final objective, superintended consolidation, and pushed out patrols to keep touch on the flank, only going back to the dressing station when ordered to do so’.
