 DSO LG Sup 22 September 1916 pg. 9268 - "For conspicuous gallantry in action. Though twice wounded in the advance, he continued to lead his men forward under heavy machine gun and artillery fire into the enemy's third line, where he organized the defences. Although his left arm was useless, he threw bombs as long as there was any supply. He set a splendid example all day."; MID LG Sup 4 January 1917 pg. 240
