* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when acting as forward observing officer. Whilst reconnoitring for a suitable position from which to observe, he captured, single-handed, thirteen of the enemy in a house, threatening them with his revolver. He was accompanied by one unarmed signaller only at the moment, and by his cool and determined action was able to hand over his prisoners to the nearest infantry unit.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty with his battery in a very exposed position, when the enemy was attacking in echelon down slopes 800 yards away. Heavy fire was opened on. the battery, one detachment being wiped out, and the gun put out of action, but this officer, by his courage and coolness in sticking to it, enabled the battery to do great execution among the massed enemy.
