His gallantry under trying conditions was of high order. [No. 2 Sec, 1st Canadian Divisional Signal Company attached to 1st Canadian Infantry Brigade.]
Sgt C. Glaysher	11 February 1919
Sgt R. Harper	23 February 1918	During the action of 30th October 1917 at a place east of Ypres he displayed conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. He exposed himself numerous times to enemy barrage in maintaining communication. He repeatedly went out to adjust and repair the base lines of the power buzzer and to adjust the Lucas lamp and at the same time kept up telephone communication. His coolness and leadership under the heavy shell fire was a splendid example to his men and inspired and encouraged hem in carrying out their duties gallantly and efficiently under these trying conditions.

This N.C.O. has shown exceptional ability and fearlessness at all times. His work during the above mentioned operations is only a single example of his continuous good work during the past fourteen months.
