      London Gazette 17 June 1919, p7700, Rec No 3223 For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty under heavy machine-gun fire. During the attack on Le Quesnoy on the 4th November 1918 when the Left Flank of his Company was “in the air” Hooker successfully carried out a very gallant reconnaissance working across exposed ground under heavy fire until he had established touch with the people on the left. Later, he several times carried messages in the face of heavy machine-gun fire and consistent sniping from the ramparts of the town. His bravery and determination were very high standard. AWMM
