'For conspicuous bravery and ability on the 8th and 12 August, 1915, during the action at Chunuk Bair (Dardanelles). In spite of heavy casualties, troubles with equipment, and the fact that his gun was under cross fire from two machine-guns, he kept his gun in action throughout. He never hesitated to expose himself to any risk, however great, in the performance of his duty, and his bravery and devotion were of the greatest service at a critical period.'
