Near BOYELLES, 22nd August, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. He brought his battery into action under
very heavy fire, and got his ammunition wagons up to the
battery position in spite of congested traffic. Later, he was
instrumental in laying telephone wires from a very advanced
post to the battery over open country under heavy machine-gun
fire. The information which he sent back was of great value in
enabling the enemy line to be driven back.

HEY, 2/Lt. Percy R.G.A.
Near VILLERS BRETONNEUX, 7th August, 1918. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty. When a number of tanks filled
with bombs and explosives close to his battery position had
been set alight by enemy shell fire, he led a small party and
successfully extinguished the burning camouflage covering his
own and neighbouring guns, and dragged into safety all exposed
cartridges. His determined courage saved the loss of ammunition
and stores.

RICHARD, 2/Lt. Stanley Machine Gun Corps
Near LES RUES VERTES, 3rd December, 1917. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty. During an enemy attack, and
whilst under intense artillery fire, he performed magnificent
work, keeping his guns in action, being with one gun himself in
an exposed position until gun and team were blown up. Being the
only one remaining unwounded, on his own initiative he moved up
to his other three guns, which he continued to keep in action
and supplied with ammunition, until these also were put out of
action and he was wounded. Throughout he set a fine example of
courage, and was of great assistance in checking the hostile
attack.
