MC: 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of a convoy of pack animals carrying ammunition forward. A large dump near the road caught fire, stopping al traffic, but by making a hazardous detour, he succeeded in delivering his ammunition at a forward position. Though he was badly shaken by a bursting shell, and several casualties has occurred among his convoy, in response to an urgent demand for ammunition he made four more journeys under the most trying conditions and continuous shell fire. He set a splendid example of courage and energy.'
