'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in the operations near Crevecouer on the 8th October 1918 and in the Operations during the attack on Le Quesnoy on the 4th November 1918. Throughout these operations this NCO showed the greatest determination, resource, and bravery in getting the S.A.A. and bombs to the firing line. On many occasions he reconnoitred routes under heavy machine gun and shell fire and then brought up the ammunition limbers to forward positions regardless of his own safety. The skill and resource of this NCO in getting the ammunition forward kept the attacking forces supplied at all times. His determination to keep the firing line supplied and his skilful and resolute bearing in the face of great danger was a splendid example to all ranks.'
