'Is recommended for his devotion to duty coolness and personal example during this Battalions operations north west o POZIERES from the 26th August, 1916 to 3rd September, 1916, whilst this Battalion was occupying the front line trenches he was in charge of an important bombing position close to the walls of MOUQUET FERME which for the first 12 hours owing to shallow trenches was practically isolated from the main body of the Battalion. By his personal example of coolness and cheerfulness he was able to keep his men well together and hold the position until we were able to construct better communications. On the night of the 1st/2nd September, 1916, Sergeant MOORE was one of the party digging portion of the assembly trench for the 13th Brigade attack 100 yards in rear of firing line east of MOUQUET FERME and here also he showed great coolness and bravery and under heavy artillery fire exposed himself continually directing his men.'
