In 1936 he was awarded the Medal of the Military Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, for Gallantry (the "Empire Gallantry Medal", EGM), "for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in circumstances of very considerable personal danger". It was gazetted on 23 June 1936.

In September 1940, the medal was converted automatically to the newly created George Cross.
He died on 23 May 1973 and was reportedly cremated in the Sudan.
As of 2018, his medals remain in the ownership of his family; they were featured in an episode of the BBC television programme "Antiques Roadshow" on 24 February 2019.
