'Operations: On British Front, opposite Beaumont Hamel, 26th March 1918 and subsequent days. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On 5th April 1918, Corporal Cutts was serving as Medical Corporal in the Battalion regimental aid post. During the morning, enemy artillery heavily and persistently shelled the immediate vicinity of the Aid Post, eventually making it impossible to continue work these. In proceeding to another position, Lieutenant R. Harris, R.M.O., was killed outright. Amidst heavy shelling Corporal Cutts selected a new Aid Post, made two trips to the original post to procure splints and dressings, reorganised his stretcher-bearers, and commenced tending the wounded in the shell hole throughout the bombardment. When properly established, he advised Battalion Headquarters of his move. This is the third occasion in the operations of the last six months that this NCO has displayed the utmost coolness, gallantry, and devotion to duty.'
