Gazette Information: Gazette Issue 31119. 2nd Bar to D.S.O. The King has been graciously pleased to approve of the award of a second Bar to the Distinguished Service Order to this Office for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in command of his battalion. He led his men up by night to relieve a battalion which had been attacked and failed to reach its objective. Regardless of danger he personally reconnoitred the line ahead of his troops, and got them on to the objective before dawn. During the three following days he again made forward reconnaissances, and leading his battalion gradually on, advanced the line 800 yards and gained a canal bank. It is impossible to speak too highly of this officer's initiative.
