Citation
LG Sup 1 Feb 1919 pg 1690 - "On 23rd August, 1918, near Hamelincourt, as forward observation officer, this officer showed conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Under heavy fire for many hours, he continuously kept touch with the situation, and sent back most valuable reports. At one time he, with two signallers, was isolated between the front line flank companies of two battalions. He succeeded in sending back quickly and accurately the position of that flank, and the gap was filled."
