When his company were held up on the right he personally led the rush forward, capturing a machine-gun. At one time, when all his company were surrounded, he fought his way out and drove the enemy off. He then reorganised his company and led them forward, and captured his objective.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of a platoon ordered to form a defensive flank to the right. Although he met with strong opposition, he fought his way forward under heavy machine-gun fire, and in spite of heavy casualties established a strong line of posts protecting the flank. When the advance was finally held up he dug in under heavy machine-gun fire, and sent in valuable reports.'
