He kept his platoon well in hand during the morning of the 8th August when the advance was made through a very dense fog and on 9th his platoon under his directions, assisted greatly by means of Lewis Gun and Rifle Fire in subduing the enemy posts holding up the advance in a sunken road. His work generally was of a very high standard and he was of the utmost assistance to his Company Commander.'
