During the operations in the vicinity of Fleurbaix from 9th to 13th April 1918 he did valuable work on several occasions. He several times cleared up obscure situations and brought back valuable information regarding the position of units whose locality was doubtful. He is absolutely fearless, and can always be relied upon to carry out successfully any mission, however dangerous or difficult, upon which he is sent. He has proved himself a most valuable NCO.
