He established the most forward R.A.P. in the Division and although under heavy shell fire the whole time he carried on attending to the wounded under the most trying circumstances. He was himself slightly wounded but would not relinquish his work. He had to move his R.A.P. on tow occasions on account of having being shelled out of his former places. In spite of the difficulties under which he had to work, all his cases were carefully and well dressed and cared for. He set a magnificent example of bravery and devotion to duty, and there is no doubt that owing to his R.A.P. being as far forward as it was he saved many lives which would otherwise have been lost.'
