On his officer becoming a casualty during an attack on an outpost, he took charge of his section and withdrew it to the main infantry position, after all his gunners had become casualties and one gun had been put out of action. Through his energetic and courageous efforts he kept all the other guns in action until all the troops had been withdrawn from the ridge.'
