'For conspicuous gallantry, initiative, and devotion to duty at Khan Ayash, on 2 October, 1918. Whilst proceeding to mount a relay signal station, he, with Trooper Smyth, discovered one enemy officer and eightyseven enemy hidden in a wadi. The officer was preparing to mount an automatic rifle when these two men, in face of bomb fire, rushed him, and took his pistol, fired into the enemy, and seized the automatic rifle. The enemy were so surprised that they surrendered in a body.'
