OBE C.G.23May1919. MC C.G.23May1918 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when commanding his company in an assault. Having carried all his objectives, his company was temporarily driven back on the right, but, acting with praiseworthy promptness and energy, he pushed out reinforcements and made his flanks secure. Later, when a post had been forced to fall back he skillfully and successfully organised a counter attack which recaptured the position. The work carried out by his company contributed very largely towards the success of the whole operation'. With some research.
