'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack upon an enemy position. His coolness under intense shell fire was magnificent and he was of the greatest assistance to his company commander when all but one of his platoon commanders had become casualties. Time after time he visited the outposts and kept his officer informed as to the situation, and the example which he set throughout the whole operation was most inspiring to all with whom he came in contact.'
