For Conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On three consecutive
days this officer was in charge of collecting posts and advanced
dressing stations. He accompanied stretcher bearers in the advance, to
see that proper touch was maintained. His coolness and disregard of
danger under heavy fire had an excellent effect on the work of the
bearer parties.<br /> |

| For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack. He directed the evacuation of the wounded for forty-eight hours continuously, and repeatedly aided the wounded under very heavy shell fire. The example which he set to all ranks, and his unbounded energy, was no doubt the means of saving many lives. |
