'Was very conspicuous during the attempted raid on our trenches, on the morning of 27th February 1917. Early in the bombardment he was buried in the minnenwerfer. After being dug out he again took post in the fire bay, keeping his men together by force of example. His courage is of the highest order. Locality east of Ploegsteert.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the Field on the 16th/17th inst. in front of Puisieux-Au-Mont. During an attack by his Battalion in co-operation with troops of the 37th Division on our left for the capture of enemy positions as far east at the Bucquoy - Puisieux-au-Mont road, this N.C.O. was in charge of the party detailed to clear Fork Wood which was at the time occupied by the enemy. For the security of the Company's right flank it was necessary that this wood should be gained and cleared quickly, but in order to reach it the two attacking sections which he commanded had to advance over about 50 yards of ground which afforded no protection and which was under severe machine gun fire. He led his sections forward with dash and ability and secured, cleared and occupied the wood, thus affording the necessary protection to the Company's right flank. He leadership and example were of a very high order and undoubtedly served to inspire his men. He rendered very valuable assistance subsequently in the consolidation of his new line when it was under enemy artillery fire of the most intense nature.'
