Citation
LG Sup 4-Oct-1919 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion during operations before Beaurevoir and Le Cateau, between 7th and 15th October, 1918, whilst in charge of the collection and evacuation of wounded. On the 7th his organization and energy were admirable, and from early morning on 8th to the evening of 9th October he worked without rest, and the successful and expeditious evacuation of the wounded was due in a large measure to his tireless energy, resource, and disregard of danger.", MID LG 28 May 1918
