During an intense and accurate hostile shelling of his battery a gun detachment were either killed or wounded and their ammunition was set on fire, but with great promptness and gallantry he ran across from his own gun and endeavoured to extinguish the ammunition; afterwards returning and directing the fire of his gun with the utmost coolness, although the camouflage was on fire. He put it out himself, and continued to set a splendid example of energy and determination until he was wounded an hour afterwards.'
