LG Sup 8 March 1919 - "Throughout the operations near Pontruet and Thorigny, on September 29th to 30th. 1918, he carried out his work with great gallantry and devotion to duty. He constantly visited the front line uinder heavy machine-gun and shell fire to personally superintend the evacuation of the wounded, and never spared himself for a moment in anything that could promote the welfare of the battalion."
