and later Captain. His MC was L/G 16th Sept 1918 Lab
Corps 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.
He marched his working party in heavy shell fire to their
work, which was successfully carried out under shell fire,
rifle and machine-gun fire, and got them back again with
but one casualty. Many of his party had never been
under shell fire before. His control of inexperienced men
under such conditions was quite exceptional, and his
display of coolness and courage undoubtedly caused the
success of the task and the very low casualties sustained'.
