'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in action in charge of his platoon when several platoon posts were established in front of a line. The work of consolidation was greatly hampered by the fire of a hostile machine gun. With the greatest courage and determination he crawled forward alone, bombed the gun post and disposed of the occupants, and, although subjected to harassing fire, be brought the machine gun back with him. His courageous action undoubtedly prevented casualties in his platoon, and allowed the work of consolidation to proceed without hindrance.'
