For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty north off Cambrai on 3rd
October, 1918. When one of our aeroplanes was crashed in our front line,
the pilot being killed and observer badly wounded and the area subjected to
heavy fire, he, with a display of great personal gallantry crawled over 200
yards to where the wounded officer was lying and succeeded in dragging
him to a place of safety. He showed great courage and initiative.

For gallantry and devotion to duty. On the night 9th/10th September,
after raiding an enemy post on the Canal du Nord, it was found that one
of his comrades had been left behind wounded. He immediately returned
alone to the enemy's lines under heavy machine gun fire and succeeded
in carrying him back to our lines.

Gaz. 14/1/19.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on 8th August, 1918,
during the battle of Amiens. He worked strenuously in the attack,
always in the thickest of the fighting, cheering on the men and leading
assaults on strong points time after time. After several casualties
he led a portion of the company on to the final objective.
Macdonald, 860 Sergeant J. Princess Patricia's L.I. Gaz. 3/9/15.
For conspicuous gallantry near Hooge Chateau on 8th May, 1915. When
a front line of trench had been obliterated by shell fire, he dug out, under
very heavy shell fire, two wounded men who had been buried. On the
same day he carried a badly-wounded man on his back, and at the same
time assisted another wounded man into safety under both shell and rifle fire.
MacDonald, 919462 Private J. A. 14th Battalion. Gaz. 14/1/19.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack near
Cagnieourt on September lst/2nd 1918. He fearlessly carried the most
important despatches continuously to and fro, through the open spaces
undaunted, following the barrage up and through intense hostile fire of
all description. Working throughout with remarkable endurance and
untiring energy, he successfully delivered all his despatches under
seemingly impossible conditions. Exposed at one time to open light
artillery and machine gun fire, he rushed forward and assisted in the
capture of the guns and killed three of the enemy with his bayonet. It
is impossible to speak too highly of the extreme gallantry, initiative and
daring displayed by him, who consistently throughout the entire operation
displayed supreme devotion to duty.
M'Donald, 438909 Corporal L. Gaz. 24/7/17.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He led a party against
an enemy machine gun in an emplacement. He alone reached the dug-
out and entering it from the rear, killed the crew and was himself seriously
wounded.
