CITATION

Military Cross

Gazetted 16 August 1917, p8398

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty whilst in charge of his brigade dump.  He also controlled his working-parties under continuous shell-fire that he kept his own brigade supplied with ammunition and water as well as meeting the demands of other brigades. On several occasions his dumps were blown up, yet, owing to his untiring energy, there was no shortage of ammunition, water, or rations.
