'In the neighbourhood of BELLICOURT on the morning of 29th September 1918, this N.C.O. displayed great coolness and untiring energy as a runner and a guide. When at the first stage of the advance the O.C. Bearer Division had not yet established communication with the Battalion Medical Officers, this N.C.O. went through heavy shell and machine gun fire, found and established communication with the Regimental Aid Posts. Although, having injured his knee on duty on a dark night, he remained on duty until relieved two days later. For his coolness, total disregard of danger and untiring energy as a guide, he materially assisted in the evacuation of wounded in an extraordinarily difficult situation. His gallantry and devotion to duty are worthy of special reward.'
