'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On October 5th, 1918, near Cheneaux Wood, this officer?s platoon was acting as advance guard to his company in advance. He discharged his duties in the boldest and most skilful way and without suffering casualties. His platoon killed fourteen enemy and made eleven prisoners and gained their objective. On October 8th, 1918, at Le Grande Pont, when it was desirable to pass through the village, he cleared it of the enemy while our heavies were still shelling it. His fine conduct and leadership throughout contributed greatly to the success of his company in these operations.'
