France.  During the action in which the battalion has been engaged since the 25th March 1918, he has frequently gone out in charge of limbers.  On many occasions his work has taken him into badly shelled areas.  His cool judgement on numerous occasions has saved the lives of both transport personnel and animals.  On al occasions he has worked with total disregard to his own safety, and has always inspired his men with confidence
