During the period from 16th/17th September 1918 to 31st December 1918 this N.C.O. has shown conspicuous courage and determination to accomplish any task allotted to him. He was in charge of a of a fatigue party carting engineering material to Battery positions, and on practically every trip he had to pass through a heavily shelled area. In doing this he led his wagons successfully and with minimum of casualties, always succeeding in getting the material to its destination. On the 17th October 1918 whilst his Battery was in action wast of ST.SOUPLET. and enemy shell killed one gunner and wounded others of his Gun Detachment. Although himself wounded, he, with another man, maintained the gun in action, and then assisted in removing the wounded until he was in turn evacuated. This was all done under continuous and heavy shell fire. Bdr. OGILVIE has at all times set a high standard of courage and devotion to duty, and is deserving of special recognition.
