'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when consolidating a forward position with his platoon. Although exposed to very heavy machine gun and rifle fire, he successfully completed his task, and it was due to his efforts that a strong hostile counter attack was subsequently repulsed, after the enemy had csaptured a forward position on his right flank. By his courage and determination he enabled a party to be organized to regain the lost position, thereby saving the situation.'
