Despite the fact that a little further onwards was comparatively safe, Pte. LEWIS remained behind and rendered First Aid to his wounded comrades after which he carried them to the dressing station. His coolness and great courage were magnificent. Throughout the whole operation the good work and cheery disposition of this soldier had a splendid influence over the men of his Company.'
