Service Number. 5967. Enlisted 14th January 1916. - Returned to Australia 28th February 1919. 11th August 1918 - Awarded the military Cross 'Near Lihons on 11th August 1918 , when a considerable gap existed between our left and centre companies , he was sent forward with his platoon to take up a position in the centre of the gap. Under a heavy fog the enemy attacked at this point. With rifle Lewis gun , and grenade fire he drove off two determined counter attacks. The enemy then came on a third time , but , owing to the gallant resistance shown , he broke and fled in disorder , suffering severe casualties. Throughout the whole operation he showed conspicuous gallantry and admirable leadership , which saved our line at a very critical time.'
