'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the field on the 26th and 27th days of March 1918 north east of Mailly Maillet. Pte McIntosh showed splendid initiative and determination early in the attack, when his N.C.O. and No 1 of the Lewis Gun team were casualties. He took over the Lewis Gun section and later all became casualties, Pte McIntosh being the only one left, he pushed on with his gun and four magazines, and in the attack on positions beyond the chalk pits pushed out to the flank and rendered splendid assistance and caused many casualties to the enemy when they were running away. He greatly assisted in making the operation a success.'
