Grenadier Guards, LG 26 January 1918: "For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty when commanding a section of oppers up. Although
at an early stage his party was reduced to three en, he led them
forward with the greatest skill and courage till the objection was
reached. He then attacked a concrete blockhouse, in which he found
nine of the enemy, three of whom he killed, the remainder then surrendered.
By his initiative and gallantry he saved the lives of many of his
comrades and prevented the attack from being held up. His conduct
has been conspicous on all occasions for coolness under fire and
cheerful devotion to duty." Wisbech Standard 26 October 1917.
