DCM LG Sup 18 June 1917 - "For conspicuous gallantry in action on many occasions. His example and influence with his men is incalculable" ref. South African Roll of Honour 1914-1918. Source: NAZ. Surname also recorded as RITA.
16 Sep 2026, FirstName/Initials audit: this record carried the alternate-surname note 'or RITA' in its FirstName field, and its Initials 'O R' had then been derived from that note rather than from a forename (the "O" being the word "or"). The man has no recorded forename. The note has been moved to AddInfo, FirstName and Initials cleared, and the display Name reduced to the surname alone. No name information is lost -- the variant spelling is preserved as what it is, a note.
