'For conspicuous gallantry in action. He led his platoon in an attack with remarkable dash, and personally captured an enemy machine gun and its team, who were holding up our advance. When the objective was reached, he took command as the company commander was wounded, and completed the consolidation. His example was felt throughout the whole company, and he materially contributed to the success of the operation.' (Letter sent to his mother by AIF on 31 Mar 1919)
