'This N.C.O. did very gallant and useful work during the advance and consolidation of the captured position on the instant near MORLANCOURT. On reaching the objective he at once pushed forward with a captured Machine gun to enfilade a party of the enemy who were still giving trouble from pot-holes in the rear and thus causing them to retire.'
