During the operations in front of Le Quesnoy from 25th October to 4th November 1918, he displayed the greatest gallantry.  Running was particularly dangerous as there were no trenches, and it was carried out under a hail of machine-gun fire.  On 4th November, while on a special run, he was severely wounded in the shoulder, but succeeded in delivering the message.
