Croix de Guerre (France) WWI
1914-1915 Star; British War Medal; Victory Medal
* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He took command of three
companies whose officers had all become casualties, reorganised them, and
proceeded to consolidate. Exposing himself to very heavy machine-gun and
rifle fire, in two hours he had placed the front line in a strong state of
defence. The conduct of this officer, both in the.assault and more
especially afterwards, was beyond all praise, and the successful handing
over of the front to the relieving,
unit as an entrenched and strongly fortified position was entirely due to
his energy and skill. |

* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty under exceptionally trying conditions. At a time when his battalion
headquarters were isolated in a tunnel, one entrance of which was on fire and
the others being bombed by the enemy, he was of the greatest assistance to his
commanding officer in steadying the men, getting out orders and maintaining
the organisation. He went out later when the entrances were cleared and
reconnoitred the position with the C.O., after which he displayed very great
ability in getting his men away, eventually swimming a river in order to get
back to our own lines.
