"Captain William Joseph Rivers Reardon, Royal Irish Regiment, Special Reserve.--He led his men with great dash, and during a counter-attack, though wounded, stayed with a party of men in a most exposed position, till he could carry on no longer." "Lieutenant Edward Alexander Stoker, Royal Irish Regiment, Special Reserve.--With two or three men he went under heavy shell fire, and captured some enemy snipers. During the enemy counter-attack he brought a party of men across the open to the threatened flank, under heavy fire." "Temporary Second-Lieutenant Thomas Adams, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.--For conspicuous gallantry when leading a raid. He entered the enemy's trenches, and it was largely due to his skill and determination that the raid was successful." "Temporary Second-Lieutenant Hugh Abbot Green, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.--When two senior company commanders had become casualties, he took command and led the men forward, capturing a portion of the final objective, which had been missed by the first attacking troops. He then advanced eighty yards, and, though himself wounded, consolidated his position." "Temporary Captain Victor Henry Parr, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.--He rallied men of different units in a wood during an enemy counter-attack, and, though wounded, led them forward and beat off the attack." "Temporary Second-Lieutenant Charles Lovell Naylor, Royal Irish Fusiliers.--He took command of his company when the other officers had become casualties, and showed great pluck when driving off a counter-attack. He then advanced and reoccupied one of our advanced posts." "Temporary Captain Thomas Francis O'Donnell, Royal Irish Fusiliers.--In the attack he dashed forward and led the battalion the whole way. He was first into the enemy's position, where he did fine work consolidating the defences." "Lieutenant Valentine Joseph Farrell, Leinster Regiment, Special Reserve.--When the senior officers of two companies had become casualties in the firing line he took command, and, by his fine example, kept his men together under intense fire." "Captain Charles Carleton Barry, Leinster Regiment, Special Reserve.--For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when returning with another officer from reconnaissance. The latter officer was severely wounded. Although wounded in the arm, Captain Barry succeeded in pulling his comrade into a shell hole, and dressing his wound. He finally succeeded in getting the officer back to our trench. These actions were carried out under heavy machine-gun and snipers' fire."
