Other InfoHis D.C.M. citation reads; (London Gazette 1st May 1918): "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was working with a fatigue party behind enemy lines when the enemy broke through. Collecting a party of twenty men, he kept the enemy at bay with rifle fire, until reinforced some hours later. He then led his men forward in a counter-attack, drove the enemy out, dug and consolidated the position, and held it until relieved. His skilful leadership and fine display of initiative undoubtedly saved a critical situation." Died age 30. The husband of Martha Kendall of Bromsgrove. He is buried in Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille, France.
