D.C.M., London Gazette, 11 March 1920: 'At Rumilly, on 29th September, 1918, he took charge of a bombing party to bomb the enemy out of a trench which they had recaptured. The attempt was unsuccessful, and his party suffered many casualties. Later he volunteered and took out a patrol under very difficult conditions, and brought back valuable information about the strength and positions held by the enemy.'
