On June 5th, when in chargeof a patrol, he was caught between two barrages andby his intrepidity and quick-wittedness succeeded inconducting his patrol safely through the barrages, atthe same time keeping the enemy from making acounter-attack. During the last German offensive in the Champagnesector, on July 14-15, he was cited for gallant andmeritorious conduct by his Colonel for refusing tobe evacuated or to leave his company, although badlywounded and gassed.

Later, in the Aisne-Marne offensive north of Cha-teau-Thierry he again gave evidence of rare courageand faithfulness to duty, as is recorded in his cita-tion.
