For his gallantry on that occasion he was awarded the D.S.O., the official record of the circumstances being as follows: "At Hollebeke, on October 31st, when wounded by a shell, continued to fight his Machine-gun Section until one gun was put out of action and the whole detachment of the other gun was killed."
