"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When nearly all the officers of his battalion had become casualties he rendered invaluable service to his Commanding Officer in planning the assembly arrangements of his battalion, which subsequently took and held all its objectives in spite of having lost 60 per cent of its men. It was due to the example set by these two officers that the ground was maintained against many determined hostile counter-attacks, and, after Major Nares had successfully established communication with other units on either flank, he was very severely wounded whilst returning to report to his Commanding Officer. His gallantry and devotion to duty deserved the highest praise."
