He dislayed the greatest gallantry and complete disregard of personal danger in going out into the open under shell fire to attend to the wounded; on one occasion going to the rescue of an officer commanding a tank, who had been wounded, and dressing his wounds in the open. He displayed similar gallantry later in the day in dressing a runner who had been wounded and whose comrade was killed.
