Victoria Cross (V.C.) Citation. London Gazette 14 September 1917.

“For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty when in command of a company in attack. When his first objective had been captured he reorganised the company and moved forward towards his objective. While waiting for the barrage to lift, he was hit by a piece of shell, which exploded the signal lights in his haversack and set fire to his equipment and clothes. Having extinguished the flames, in spite of his wound and the severe pain he was suffering, he led forward the remains of the company under very heavy machine gun fire, and captured and consolidated his objective, He was subsequently killed by a sniper while inspecting the consolidation and encouraging his men. This gallant officer set a magnificent example of coolness and contempt of danger to the whole battalion, and it was due to his splendid leadership that the final objective of his battalion was gained”
