'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. After a heavy preliminary bombardment the enemy advanced to deliver a serious attack. This officer, who was in command of his company on the right flank, grasping the situation with prompt initiative, pushed forward and forestalled the enemy, breaking up the attack before it fell upon the advanced posts. The ability and rapidity with which the plan was conceived and successfully accomplished were most marked, and during the whole operation Captain Saxon showed a very fine example of courage and coolness to his men, personally supervising under heavy fire all the dispositions necessary.'
