M.C. London Gazette 4 October 1919. ‘During the action near Mormal Forest on November 4, 1918, Lieut. Semple, as Company Engineer, displayed great devotion to duty and utter disregard of his own personal safety, repairing tanks under heavy shell fire during the action. Previous to the action he worked day and night for a week, and it was largely due to his efforts that several tanks of “A” Company reached their starting point at scheduled time’.
