He was never out of touch with the retreating enemy, though often under very severe artillery and machine gun fire. Throughout the operations he set a splendid example all ranks of courage and devotion to duty, and his untiring energy and skill were of the utmost value, both to the battalion and the division.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
