'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an intense bombardment of many hours this officer, time after a time, left his trench to reorganize strong posts and machine-gun posts which had been knocked out. He also dressed and brought in many wounded, carrying on almost without cessation for forty-eight hours, setting a fine example.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in leading a patrol well ahead of the vanguard and locating the enemy before the advance topped a ridge. He patrolled the foot of the forward slope and supplied most useful information as to the enemy?s movements, afterwards guiding a platoon to the trench it was to occupy. He and his patrol were subject the whole time to sniping, machine-gun and light-field gun fire, and their enterprise in keeping well forward was a great assistance to the Infantry attack.
