'During two days hard fighting he proved himself a gallant and resourceful leader, quickly grasping the meaning of any change in the situation. Once when the battalion on the flank was retiring, he went out under heavy fire to ascertain all the circumstances and came back and formed a defensive flank, and sent in reports which where of great assistance to his commanding officer. He set a splendid example to his men.'
