'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When an infantry brigade took up a fresh line this officer worked night and day for nearly thrity six hours salving wire and erecting telephonic communication, until every company and battalion were linked up. Again, on shifting their position, this officer worked all night in setting up a complete system of communication, which he established and maintained in spite of heavy shelling.'

'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his brigade was placed under orders of another division, and had to make a night attack, it became urgently necessary to improvise means of communications. He volunteered to lay a cable, which he accomplished and maintained throughout the operation, despite immense difficulties, the whole area being drenched with high explosives and gas. As soon as the final objective had been reached, communications were opened and maintained, this officer working day and night for three days until relieved, and inspiring his men by his example.'
