Title: Gazette (DSO Citation)

Description: 'Awarded the Distinguished Service Order... Captain (Acting Major) Arthur Gordon Cade, MC, Middlesex Regiment... 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of his battalion. Hearing that the left flank of his battalion was held up, he at once went forward with as many men and machine guns as he could collect, and throughout the whole day under intense hostile fire, reorganised his Battalion, with the utmost disregard of personal safety in full view of the enemy. He strengthened an exposed flank, and held on in the face of determined counterattacks. His courage and coolness were beyond all praise, and it was solely due to his personal efforts that he kept his battalion in good morale throughout the day’.
