'During an attack near Mont St. Quentin, on the 2nd September, 1918, an enemy strong point held up the advance. After a daring personal reconnaissance, during which he captured a machine gun post with three guns, he surrounded and took the strong point, which contained seventeen machine guns and two trench mortars. He then re-organized his company and led the attack on the objective. When the Acting Commanding Officer of the battalion was wounded, he took command of the whole front line, and his fine gallantry and untiring efforts set a wonderful example to all.'
