M.C. London Gazette 9.1.1918 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led his Company into action under a heavy barrage of gas and other shell fire, unditched his Tank twice under heavy fire and proceeded in front of our Infantry, engaging the enemy until his Tank was put out of action by a direct hit. He then took his crew and guns into a trench close by and continued for two hours to fire on hostile machine-gun emplacements from an advanced position two hundred yards in front of our Infantry. His gallantry and determination deserve the highest praise'.
