[CITATION]
London Gazette 2nd December 1919.

“During the operations just north of Vertain on 23rd October 1918, he displayed magnificent courage and dash. On crossing the River Harpies he saw an enemy post ahead doing much damage. He rushed single-handed through our barrage, killing one and capturing the remainder of the garrison. Later, when his section was held up by an enemy machine-gun post, he left his section to draw the enemy’s fire and try to snipe them, while he in dead ground crawled up to their flank. He rushed them with bayonet and bomb by himself, capturing eighteen prisoners, one heavy and one light machine guns.”
