“His battery was heavily and continuously shelled while in action. One gun was knocked out and several casualties occurred, but owing to his coolness and skillful leadership the whole of the barrage program was carried out. He then withdrew his men to a flank and himself remained alone at the telephone under heavy fire in case of an SOS. He displayed the greatest gallantry and contempt of danger, and set a magnificent example to his men.”
