Citation
LG Sup 7 November 1918 pg. 13158 - "For conspicuous gallantry and good leadership. When the advance on his flank was held up by heavy machine-gun fire he worked his Lewis gun forward with great courage and disregard of danger, and silenced the machine guns. Our advance was then pushed on. Throughout the operations his fine example inspired confidence in all ranks."
