His wound was not so serious at this time and Cumming was able to return to his unit after two weeks. During the last days of War, he led his company during the combats near the town of Beaumont on November 4. Loyal but also fanatical German troops encircled his unit and Cumming resisted until the Armistice of 11 November 1918. His repeated act of bravery was awarded with his third Silver Star. Cumming also received Order of the Star of Romania and another French Croix de guerre 1914–1918. He was also authorized to wear Fourragère.
