1st Bar LG 16 August 1918 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When acting as forward observation officer, he displayed great daring when our troops were driven back in his immediate vicinity. Bemaining calmly at his post, he reported to headquarters the progress of events, and did everything possible to rally the men and retrieve the situation, being severely wounded while so doing. His devotion to duty and absolute disregard of personal risk have always been most conspicuous, and his remarkable coolness has afforded a splendid example, not only to the men of his own unit, but to any troops with whom he has come into contact." MC LG Sup 13 February 1917 - "For conspicuous gallantry in action. On two occasions, as forwarding observing officer, he displayed great courage and determination, and succeeded in bringing effective fire to bear on the enemy." MID LG Sup 8 February 1917 pg. 1357
