'These two stretcher bearers [ROBERTS and 607 S.F. CARPENTER] on the 26th April went along the beach under heavy fire to rescue wounded men of other units who had been lying in a stranded boat near the "Fishermans Hut" for over 30 hours. All the occupants of the boat had been killed or wounded by machine gun or shrapnel fire. These stretcher bearers rescued four wounded men although under fire while going to the boat, taking the wounded out and returning.'
