* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his company were holding the front positions of the battle zone, his fine courage and personal example caused them to offer resistance till the last possible moment. Several times, under his leadership, they drove back the enemy in disorder, his cheerfulness and disregard of danger contributing largely to a gallant defence.

| 18.12.1912 | commissioned, 9th (The Dumbartonshire) Battalion, Princess Louise's (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) - Territorial Army | ||
| In the 1914-1918 war joined, from school, the 9th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (TA). This wa s the Dunbartonshire battalion. In the second battle of Ypres the 9th was very badly "shot-up". Of 30 Officers and 1000 O.R's only 8 Officers and 200 O. R's remained fit for active duty. The remnants were merged with the 8th (Argyllshire) battalion. After the war the 9th was reconstituted and he served with it until retiring as CO in 1933, with the rank of Brevet-Colonel after 21 years service. This rank is a rare distinction and carries full Colonel's badges of rank. In February 1939 the battalion was converted to 54th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery. | |||
