London Gazette:
D.C.M. – 3 September 1918.
‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in action. During an initial gas-bombardment before a hostile attack he remained at the telephone without a mask, and stuck to his post until all the wires had been cut. Later, although feeling the ill effects of the gas, he took charge of the few remaining signallers and employed them as a rifle section. He set a fine example of courage and devotion to duty.’
M.S.M. – 29 August 1918.
‘… in recognition of valuable services rendered with the Armies in the Field during the present war.’
