On 29 October 1914 near Festubert, France, he performed a deed along with Second Lieutenant James Leach for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross. Their citation reads: For conspicuous bravery near Festubert on 29 October, when, after their trench had been taken by the Germans, and after two attempts at recapture had failed, they voluntarily decided on the afternoon of the same day to recover the trench themselves, and, working from traverse to traverse at close quarters with great bravery, they gradually succeeded in regaining possession, killing eight of the enemy, wounding two, and making sixteen prisoners.
