* For conspicuous gallantry throughout the day
on September 19th,1918, during the attack on the Turkish position about
Tabsor, and especially after passing through the last objective into open
country. Collecting various details of four different units up to a total af
about 80 men, he organised them into parties, charged in face of strong
opposition, and took two trenches, capturing about 50 prisoners and two field
guns. Subsequently, when mounted on a captured pony, he saw a third field gun
escaping, whereupon he galloped after it and, single-handed, captured the gun
and team complete. He set a magnificent example to all units by his initiative
and utter disregard of danger.
