Citation
LG Sup 26 July 1917 pg. 7651 - "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in leading his men with the utmost dash and disregard of personal danger during an attack. Though severely wounded by our own barrage, he remained in command until completely exhausted, setting a splendid example to all."
