Born: 16 November 1883

Died: 29 April 1959

He was awarded the Military Cross in September 1916:

For conspicuous gallantry in action.  As senior officer in the firing line he skilfully consolidated the ground won.  He organized bombing parties and repelled a counter attack, and all night set a fine example to those round him.

There is no record of when this occurred but it is most likely at the Battle of Fromelles which commenced at 6.00pm on 19 July 1916 and ended the next morning.  [JSB]
