A number of mules and horses which were stuck in shell holes had been abandoned by their drivers, and Te Amo rendered specially good service in getting the animals clear thereby saving casualties. Work was done under heavy shell fire and exceptionally bad conditions. Te Amo has at all times been most conscientious in the performance of his duty.'
