In addition he has distinguished himself in raids. In August operations he did especially good work in charge of liaison sections; on two occasions he captured enemy machine guns and crews in face of heavy fire, and then fired these guns to great effect. He has always volunteered for any dangerous or difficult tasks, and has always achieved the fullest success.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the operations near BRAY on 22nd/23rd August, 1918. Private JENSEN was in charge of a special Section to maintain liaison with the 47th Division on our left. He carried out his duties in a highly efficient manner, and made good the gap that occurred. Single handed, he rushed and captured a machine gun and crew. While consolidating the final objective, he went forward with a captured machine gun and successfully covered this work. His skilful and timely handling of this gun undoubtedly saved us many casualties. Throughout he displayed courage and initiative of the highest order, and largely contributed to our successful holding on while our left flank was in the air after the withdrawal of the troops on left.'
