‘For exemplary coolness and courage under heavy fire. After three nights without sleep he volunteered to be second in command of a section sent up to support advancing infantry. Whilst taking the teams away under rifle and machine gun fire, three 5.9’s burst simultaneously, killing and wounding drivers and horses. Notwithstanding this, he collected his teams and brought them safely out of the barrage.’
