"For marked gallantry and dash near Briastre. On the night of 19th-20th
October 1918, during an assault, he was wounded soon after the start,
but continued to lead his section. At a critical moment, when his men
hesitated in face of enemy machine-gun fire, he led his men against the
machine-gun that was causing the trouble, and captured it and the crew."
