shown the finest qualities of courage, enthusiasm and endurance. On 18 September 1918, gallantly led by Lieutenant Colonel Clegg-
Hill in person, it rushed to the assault of the strongly fortified position, showing a magnificent spirit of self-sacrifice. In spite of a
crossfire from artillery, trench mortars and machine guns and of the loss of its Commanding Officer, who fell mortally wounded, the
battalion continued to advance, making light of its heavy casualties and thereby giving a glorious example of heroism and maintaining
the loftiest traditions of the British Army.’
