Gallantry Notes: The excetionally skillful and daring manner in which this officer employed his guns on two occasions very materially assisted the infantry, during both actions, in spite of shell and machine gun fire he walked from gun to gun showing a complete contempt of danger. It was entirely due to his untiring energy and resource that his guns were kept in action under most difficult circumstances.;
