On the Nco in charge of the forward signal station becoming a casualty, he immediately took command of all the battalion signal communications, and when his forward post had been severely damaged by shell fire he established communications over an area continually swept by heavy shell fire. For two days he maintained all his lines as well as a visual station at brigade headquarters, and by his thorough organization of the means of communication he displayed high powers of leadership and resource.'
