He has carried out the work of evacuating wounded under circumstances the most arduous and dangerous. His work has been a model of successful organisation. During the past two years this Officer has done most valuable work. His Unit was hastily organised last February in the Field from Infantry and Mounted Rifle details. In the course of a few months it became, under his able command, a most efficient Field Ambulance in the New Zealand Forces."
