'For conspicuous gallantry in an attack on the enemy's trenches near FLERS on the night 4/5th November, 1916 when under a heavy barrage he carried messages over 700 yards of shell pitted country from a strong point to Battalion H..Q. He twice did the journey crossing No Mans Land on each occasion, owing to the heavy resins he often fell shoulder deep in shell holes and was wet to the skin. He was cheerful throughout and showed an absolute disregard for danger. The information he brought in proved very valuable at a critical stage of the operations.'
