Citation à l'ordre du Corps d'Armée
Tireur d'une adresse et d'une ardeur rare dont les interventions judicieuses ont permis maintes fois à ses camarades par la mise en fuite de l'infanterie de poursuivre plus surement les attaques engagées, a toujours fait preuve d'un mépris complet du danger particulièrement au cours de l'attaque de la ferme de l'Epine le 17/08/1944.
A droit au port de la fourragère de la croix de guerre
cette citation comporte l'attribution de la Croix de Guerre avec étoile de vermeil.
