'During the operations east of YPRES on 20th September, 1917, this N.C.O. was engaged on the construction of a strong point and showed most conspicuous braery, cheerfulness and untiring enery. He personally salved material from around old German works for use in the construction of his strong point. When the point was subjected to heavy shell fire he was continually moving around repairing damage done, showing an utter disregard of personal risk throughout.'
