'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This officer led a squadron at the gallop under heavy rifle and machine fire over the first and second line trenches in order to reinforce the leading squadron, thus enabling the regiment to push forward and capture all the remaining lines of enemy entrenchments.'
