The award by the French Government was "in recognition of the Professor's services in fostering Anglo-French friendship." As Professor of French at Birmingham, he was known and liked by many departments. The English Club at Birmingham University has been grateful to him on many occasions for his stimulating views on the relationship of French with English, literature. His favourite topic: "Burgundy—Eating and Drinking."
