The original recommendation states:

“On the 7th/8th and 9th June, 1917, during operations south of MESSINES this man did excellent work as a runner between his Company and his Battalion Headquarters. During the greater part of the period he worked under heavy shell fire, and displayed an utter disregard to personal risk. He set a splendid example to the comrades by his personal courage and determination.”
