By personal reconnaissance he was able to direct the fire of the heavy artillery upon numerous field guns and machine guns, which were causing casualties. Also, by organizing the fire of Vickers and Lewis guns upon enemy machine guns he was able to send on the attack . . . owing to his splendid leadership his battalion made an advance of nearly three miles and captured several hundred prisoners and some machine guns.
