This N.C.O. was in charge of the Divisional Wireless Section and the success of Wireless communications in this Division since Zero on the 8th inst., to the 12th inst., has been to a large extent, due to the splendid work and example of this N.C.O. in keeping up Wireless communication when other methods had temporarilly failed.
At all times since Zero on the 8th inst., when forward stations have given trouble, this N.C.O. has gone forward to make the necessary repairs in spite of almost insurmountable difficulties of enemy shelling and bombing. (War Diary, 4th Divisional Signal Company, 30 September 1918) |

Brigade Hqrs and the Batteries were continuously shelled, but this N.C.O. by his fearless example and splendid control of his men, kept up continuous communications despite the fact that the Headquarters Signalling Party were driven out of their Signal dugout by shell fire a few hours before the attack. When Division line was out, two hours before Zero, Cpl Buck went out personally with the Division Linesman to fix the break on the ridge, which was being heavily shelled, and succeeded in altering course and repairing line so that it held for the operation.

The need of this station was imperative as Wireless was the only means of rapid communication for the H.A. and F.A. F.O.Os. Heavily laden with Wireless instruments etc., this Bdr continued for almost 4 miles in the face of very heavy enemy shell and machine gun fire. The station was successfully established about 100 yards behind our line and in full view of the enemy. Bdr CHURCHILL did heroic work in frequently erecting the aerial which was being shot away, and in maintaining until relieved 48 hours later.

Cpl LAWSON who was near ran forward at once, in spite of the machine gun fire of the enemy plane which followed ours close to the ground and assisted the unwounded occupant in lifting out and dressing the wounds of the other who was badly hit. The enemy quickly opened upon the fallen Plane with salvoes of 5.9s, but Cpl LAWSON with the aid of three infantry men who had meanwhile joined him (names and Battn unknown) improvised a stretcher and removed the wounded Officer. The enemy increased his rate of fire, and followed up their party which was quite in the open and shells fell all around them but they coolly carried the wounded Officer to safety. |

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty from the 8th to the 11th of August 1918 during the advance from DOMART (Sheet 66E.)
From the 8th to the 11th August 1918 this man was employed at Brigade to maintain the Divisional line.
He carried on with his work under the most adverse conditions, often for hours alone.
On the 10th and 11th August he was working almost constantly under heavy shell fire and in view of the enemy, and on one occasion he repaired over 15 breaks in the calbe during the night. It was largely due to his courage and untiring energy that communication to the Brigade was maintained. (War Diary, 4th Divisional Signal Company, 30 September 1918) |

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This N.C.O. was in charge of the telephone communications, and although the line was continually being broken, this N.C.O., despite the exceptionally heavy shell-fire, immediately went out and repaired the breaks. During the day, it was necessary to lay four complete lines. When the fire became so intense that it was impossible to maintain the lines, this N.C.O. several times carried messages through the enemy barrages, and the great courage, coolness, and devotion to duty displayed by him, set an excellent example to the men under him.
