Citation

An Extract from the "London Gazette," No. 31108, dated 3rd January 1919,
records the following:

"For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty North of Ors on the 4th November 1918, whilst attempting to bridge the Oise Canal. To cover the bridging of the canal he took a Lewis gun, and, under intense machine-gun fire, paddled across the canal on a raft, and at a range of ten yards expended all of his ammunition. Further ammunition was paddled across to himand he continuously maintained a covering fire for the bridging party from a most exposed position till killed at his gun. The supreme contempt of danger and magnificent self-sacrifice displayed by this gallant officer prevented many casualties and enabled two platoons to cross the bridge before it was destroyed."
