Distinguished Conduct Medal: London Gazette, March 12th 1919: "At Regnicourt, on 17th October 1918, he showed marked gallantry and powers of leadership while in command of his platoon. He carried his men forward under heavy machine gun fire until held up by wire, when he at once organised rifle and Lewis gun fire, and with a few men worked to a flank where he found a gap, rushing forward, he charged the enemy's post, capturing two machine guns and several prisoners. He did splendid work."
