'On the morning of September 1st 1918 near MONT ST QUENTIN north of PERONNE this N.C.O. was in charge of the Ambulance Bearers attached to the 24th Battalion A.I.F. During a heavy bombardment by the enemy in the vicinity of the Regimental Aid Post an enemy shell wounded some men at a distance of about 200 yards form the post. Sergeant NUNAN immediately went to the assistance of these men through heavy fire and after dressing them, carried them to a safer position near the Aid Post. His coolness and courage were a fine example to all.'
