'For gallantry and conspicuous and consistent devotion to duty in the field during the period from 25th February to 16/17th September 1918. During this period this NCO has acted as Quartermaster Sergeant to his Company with unvarying zeal and enthusiasm. He has worked hard and unceasingly in the interests of the men of his Company and has personally seen to the carrying and distribution of the rations whenever his Company has been in the line. He has throughout shown a fine disregard for danger and a high conception of his duties, although on many occasions shelling has been heavy during the performance of his work. He has never failed to get his rations forward nor to carry out whatever his duty was called on him to do.'
