M.C. London Gazette 17 September 1917:
“For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty at a time when all communications were practically impossible owing to enemy shell fire. He volunteered to take a message, which he successfully delivered, though rendered unconscious by gas for some minutes while doing so. He then laid lines by himself, repaired several important wires, re-erected the wireless mast and practically re-established communication throughout his area. He then returned to ask if he could do any more. All this was accomplished under very heavy shell fire, and his coolness and gallantry were beyond all praise.”
Bar to M.C. London Gazette 8 March 1919; citation London Gazette 4 October 1919:
“For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On 4th November, 1918, he was in charge of a forward test station at Mazinghien. The enemy put down a very heavy barrage between the headquarters of the fighting brigades and his post, cutting almost all wires. He immediately went out under very heavy fire, repaired the breaks, and for four hours patrolled up and down the lines mending over 30 breaks and keeping continuous touch by wire with brigade. He set a very fine example to those with him.”
