M.C. London Gazette 16 September 1918:

‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When in charge of Stokes mortars he defended a position until knocked out, when he attached himself to the infantry, and held on to the foremost position all day under terrific barrage and repeated attacks. Largely through his example the position was maintained till dusk, and heavy losses inflicted on the enemy.’
