'On 4th June when being shelled one of the gun emplacements took fire. About 130 rounds including several high explosive were exploding and this man entered the ruined building, still under shell fire, and with assistance removed the whole of the ammunition, a total of 1,500 rounds. He also assisted in removing the gun from the burning emplacements. This man when serving on Gallipoli was hit in the jaw, throat and shoulder, but after having his wounds dressed returned to the gun. He asked permission not to go sick and remained in the firing line.'
