| Gazetted temporary lieutenant 04 September 1916. Distinguished Conduct Medal gazetted 12 March 1919 "During an attack north-west of Menin, on 14 October 1918, he displayed gallantry of an exceptionally high standard. He kept his section well together the whole time, leading them well up to our barrage. On two occasions, on meeting enemy pill-boxes, he rushed ahead of the advance and took the pill-boxes by himself, compelling the enemy to surrender by his determination. He was also invaluable in helping to reorganise a party of men of different regiments and copanies on the objective. His courage and dash were an example to all ranks." Military Medal gazetted 13 March 1919. | |
