"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the situation was very obscure, and touch had been lost with the troops on both flanks, he went out under heavy fire and made a daring reconnaissance, with the result that connection was re-established with the troops on the right and left. He set a splendid example throughout the battle."
