Passchendaele 4 October 1917.  For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.  His company was held up during an attack by an enemy machine gun.  He worked round to a flank and rushed the gun single-handed, killing the crew.  He then led his platoon forward to the objective, which he captured and held, under very heavy shell-fire.   His fine leadership and courage were of the greatest value at a critical time.
