Citation
LG 9 January 1918 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty whilst putting out bridges across a canal. It was entirely due to his untiring gallant efforts that the bridges were kept in repair, in spite of frequent breaks by hostile shell fire, and that they were in a serviceable condition by zero hour, in good time for our attack."
