'During the operations of this Battalion near BELLICOURT between the 29th September/1st October 1918 Tem/Corporal HEUZENROEDER displayed much gallantry, skill and initiative. On the morning of 30th September when the Battalion was attacking he was acting as Platoon Commander, his Officer having been wounded earlier in the operations. Lance Corporal HEUZENROEDER by his fine example and qualities of leadership at once secured the confidence of the whole of the platoon. He rallied his men and while accomplishing the difficult task of retaining connection with units on the flanks got the platoon well forward and took up a splendid position at the objective. His promptness and skill in so doing contributed subsequently saved many casualties; the work of Lance Corporal HEUZENROEDER was so good that his Company Commander retained his services in charge of the platoon although there was a senior N.C.O. available.'
