His coolness and example deserves specialrecognition" 9th March 1917. "For continuous good work and devotion to duty. During the very trying periodwhen the Battalion was in the line near Flers he was carring rations to the front line. He wasalways the first to volunteer to take the place of sick men, and worked without rest during most of this time. On December 3rd 1916, during one of these trips, the approaches to the Battalion lines were being heavily shelled. After delivering the rations he came across a wounded man, who wasbeing attended to by stretcher-bearers of another Battalion. He immediately volunteered and helped to carry the wounded man to the Aid Post, through the fire and across the open. He has always shown a fine example to the men under him. He has had service in Gallipoli, Egypt and France, and has been absent from his unit only for a little while in hospital, on account of wounds received on 19th July 1916 at Fleurbaix."
