London Gazette Supplement 9th January 1918

"Lt. The Hon. Victor Alexander William Brisbane Cochrane-Baillie, S.Gds, Spec.Res For conspicious gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack he was knocked down and badly cut about the face and body by a shell. He carried on however, deployed his company and remained with them throughout the day, having distinguished himself by his quick resource in establishing a defensive flank at a critical moment and of the accuracy and conciseness of his reports upon the situation. His splendid example of pluck and devotion to duty inspired all ranks under his command."
