Citations:
 LG Sup 22 April 1918 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of a raiding party. He found loose wire across the gap in the enemy's wire, but with the help of a N.C.O. he cleared the gap and led his party through into the enemy's trench. He successfully dealt with the enemy in the trench, and when some of them tried to escape he followed them, killing one and capturing three prisoners. He withdrew the whole of his party safely, having set them an inspiring example of coolness and courage throughout the operation."
