'At Ypres on 28th September while a heavy duel was taking place between our stokes mortars and the enemy's minemwerfers this man (with others) did excellent work in assisting to dig out two of his comrades who were buried by one of enemys' heavy shell. He worked hard for nearly two hours nearly the whole time under heavy bomb and shell fire until the men were unearthed.'
