Gazette Issue 30234. M.C. His Majesty the King has been graciously
pleased to confer the Military Cross in recognition of conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty in the field during a raid, in which
he led his platoon with the utmost dash and determination. The success
of the operation was largely due to the daring reconnaissances which
he had made of the enemy wire previous to the raid. He afterwards
returned to No Man's Land and brought back many wounded men.
