He was actually MiD too, in Haig's despatch of 30th April 1916. He got his MM in the LG of 11th November 1916.

Served with the 19th (Butterfly Division) in F&F.

Odd fact; in 1947 the Western Daily press ran a story about him; that he was being prosecuted for selling Milk that was, in fact, 20% water. He denied involvement and blamed his two sons, aged 21 and 14.
