CITATION

  • Distinguished Conduct Medal
  • France April 1918
  • For conspicuous gallantry and intelligent daring in command of a light trench mortar.

Though badly shocked, he stood by the gun, maintained continuous fire according to the barrage timetable, and managed to reorganise his team. Later, when a machine gun harassed consolidation, he went forward under heavy fire to one of the most forward posts and made a personal reconnaissance, with the result that on his return he silenced the machine gun
