Hi,
He received :
28 citations
Officier dans l'Ordre de Leopold I
Officier de l'Ordre de la Couronne
Croix de Guerre avec 27 Palmes et 13 Lion Vermeils
A British MC
DSO

He was also Baroned. The classical addition of a place name was not his home or place of birth as was normally used but 'de Houthulst' referring to his exploits of shooting down some balloons at this area.
If you want to know more on the Belgian aces I can recommend you very warmly Above Flanders Fields of Walter Pieters, published by Grub Street, London, 1998.
