'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On the morning of the 18th August, in Puisieux, Private Curry was in command of a Lewis gun Section. When the enemy attacked further to the left he rushed this gun forward and absolutely into the open. From here he caught the enemy in the flank and assisted greatly in breaking up the attack. The enemy directed the fire of two machine guns on him at close range, besides rifle fire and bombs, but he held his ground until the attack collapsed. This man showed great courage and absolute disregard of danger.'
