Onorificenze

Military Cross - nastrino per uniforme ordinaria
«Lt. George Frederick Hopkinson, N. Staff. R., Spec. Res. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a fortnight's operations of a most arduous description, his services in maintaining communication between brigade headquarters and the front line were most valuable, and his example of fine personal courage and coolness under heavy fire, worthy of the highest praise. On one occasion, having been unable to find the battalion to whom he was to convey orders for retirement, he returned a second time, but encountered an enemy patrol, who opened a heavy fire. Eluding the patrol, he came across one of our wounded, whom he helped to get on to his motor-cycle and managed to convey back to safety, though all the time being subjected to heavy fire.[3]»
— 16 dicembre 1918[4]

Durante le operazioni di due settimane difficili da descrivere, i suoi servizi nel mantenere la comunicazione tra il quartier generale della brigata e la linea del fronte furono molto preziosi, e il suo bell'esempio di coraggio personale e freddezza sotto un pesante fuoco, degni del massimo elogio. In un'occasione, non essendo una prima volta riuscito a trovare il battaglione al quale doveva trasmettere gli ordini di ritirata, tornò una seconda volta, ma incontrò una pattuglia nemica, che aprì un pesante fuoco. Eludendo la pattuglia, si imbatté in un nostro ferito, che aiutò a salire sulla sua motocicletta e riuscì a portare in salvo, pur essendo sempre sotto il fuoco nemico.
