'For conspicuous gallantry and coolness in the face of enemy fire. During the attack near Le Quesnoy on the 4th November 1918 a party of the enemy were making a stout resistance and checking the advance. Currie on his own initiative immediately organised his scouts, three in number, and rushed the position which was strongly held by enemy machine guns killing 12 of the enemy and capturing 3 machine guns. The remainder of the enemy fled. His prompt action was a fine example to his men and enabled the advance to be continued without casualties.'
