'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attack east of Mont St. Quentin, on 2nd September 198. When the right flank of an attacking company was held up by machine gun fire he worked round with a small party and rushed the enemy guns, wich were causing heavy casualties, killing the crews and capturing their guns.
