'On 9th August 1918 during the attack on enemy positions between VAUVILLERS and LIHONS, Private FELTMAN volunteered to carry important messages when other runners had been killed and wounded trying to get through the heavy fire of the enemy. Private FELTMAN succeeded in running the gauntlet and delivered important messages at great personal risk to himself. His work was a fine example of high devotion to duty.'
