'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. His company was held up during an attack by an enemy machine-gun. He worked round to a flank and rushed the gun single-handed, killing the crew. He then led his platoon forward to the objective, which he captured and held, under very heavy shell fire. His fine leadership and courage were of the greatest value at a critical time.'
