'On the 12th, October, 1917 near St Julien. For conspicuous zeal and devotion to duty. Although physically exhausted by a long tour of duty at the guns, he voluntarily and effectively replaced a double casualty during that day in the Battery to which he was at his own request attached at the commencement of October operations. Immediately following on this performance he went to forward areas to bring in wounded from the attack of that day. His spirited endurance was beyond praise.'
