Citation
MC LG Sup 20 October 1916 - "For conspicuous gallantry in action. He moved constantly about among his men, placing them so as best to repel the enemy's attack. By his fine example under heavy shell, rifle and machine-gun fire, he inspired confidence in his company, and the enemy's attack was repulsed." MID LG Sup 8 February 1917 pg. 1355
