'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack he led his section with such dash against a strongly garrisoned objective that the enemy fled. With great initiative, he led a bombing team forward, and captured a machine gun. Later, when the position was repeatedly counter attacked, he inspired his men by his courage, and all attacks were driven off.'
