Military Medal - London Gazette, 18th June 1917.
For bravery in the field. At Monchy-le-Preux on April 14th 1917, when an attack had failed and the enemy were advancing on the village, he displayed the greatest of gallantry as one of a small party who were hastily collected to oppose the hostile advance. This party maintained itself in the face of overwhelming odds, inflicted heavy losses on the enemy and completely checked him on this part of the line.
