Bar to D.S.O., London Gazette, 15 October, 1918: 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. The skill with which he made his plans, and his untiring devotion to duty in reconnoitering the position and training his men preparatory to an attack largely contributed to the success of the operation. When the objective was gained, his gallantry, and admirable leadership, which had been conspicuous during the engagement, greatly cheered and encouraged his men during the difficult work of consolidation under heavy shell and machine-gun fire.'
