(Salonkia) On the 18th of September 1918, in the attack on The Knot, he behaved with conspicuous coolness and gallantry in rallying and leading his men forward when they had come under very heavy machine-gun and trench mortar fire in crossing a ravine. Later, though wounded, he continued to lead his men, showing them a very fine example of devotion to duty. During the preparations for the attack this officer had done most valuable work in reconnoitring routes and cutting gaps in our wire, and was of the utmost assistance to his company commander throughout."
