La Basse Ville, 31 July 1917.  For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.  Having established an advanced post 300 yards in front of our line, he found an enemy post close by, which he promptly attacks with bombs, capturing one prisoner and killing the remainder, twenty two in number.  This action was marked by great courage and determination, as the enemy post was strongly protected by wire.
