He had to travel by a sap which was so damaged as to be merely a track, -the vicinity was continually shelled and the enemy snipers made the route an extremely dangerous one, But Cohen unhesitatingly carried numerous valuable messages between these two points and showed the highest courage and devotion to duty.
