For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty during operations. He directed
the stretcher-bearers under
heavy shell fire with the
greatest coolness and courage. He succeeded in
entering a village which had been heavily
shelled, and, with another captain, a
serjeant and four men, collected the wounded
into a dug-out and succeeded in getting
them back later. He has frequently shown
great courage.
