This road was at the time subjected to very heavy enemy shell fire. He also patrolled the lines forward from his post to the Brigade Report centre which was situated on the Canal bank north of BELLICOURT village. It was due to his devotion to duty and courage under enemy artillery and machine gun fire that communication was successfully maintained between Brigade and Battalions.'
