‘He was killed in an attack on the morning of November 6th, 1918, near Maubeuge, leading his company with unequalled bravery. He showed an absolute disregard for his own safety, his one thought being to lead his men and to gain his objective, and as a soldier and a Christian he was an example to all of us.’
