'This Driver did good work assisting to salve machines during the recent operations. On November 29th at the Sugar Factory on the Bapaume-Cambrai Road, although everyone else in the neighbourhood was under shelter, he repaired a puncture and also a hole caused by shrapnel in the radiator of his car, whilst the area was being heavily shelled and gassed. A second tender was blown up by a shell, and through this man's efforts the two parties were able to leave the shelled zone before casualties had occurred.'
