'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an enemy attack. He led his platoon against the enemy at a critical moment, and checked their advance. Though wounded, he remained with them, and in the afternoon again led them forward with the cavalry and caused the enemy to withdraw. He displayed fine courage and leadership.'
