Citation
LG Sup 18 July 1917 pg. 7234 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On two separate occasions he carried out a most difficult reconnaissance under very heavy fire in advance of our front line in order to enable fresh trenches to be constructed. The task was successfully accomplished entirely owing to his skilful use of ground and fearless leadership in the construction of the work."
