Citation

DSO LG Sup 6 April 1918 pg 4201 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was in command of a support battalion during an attack, and on going forward to reconnoitre he found that the advance was completely held up by flanking machine gun fire from a pill box. He at once organized an attack upon it, captured it and several other enemy strong points, and was able to establish a definite line, which he held until relieved. He displayed exceptional qualities of leadership and resource at a very critical time"; MID 28 Dec 1917 pg 13576
