After the Battle of Hooge, July 31st, 1915, his Colonel wrote:

"It is a cruel story : it was a sudden attack under cover of liquid gases, that set the trench aflame. In spite of all the horror and confusion, your boy, apparently with two other officers, Rae and Pawle, rallied the men at once, and firing hard through the flames, held their ground. It was simply heroic and just what we all knew could and would be done by your boy at a tight corner. He had already proved himself quite fearless, and what is more quite cool under fire, and his platoon loved him—a roughish set of men who followed him anywhere—and he was always chosen for any particular difficult digging task. He had a genius for getting work done—and done well.
I was very fond of him personally, and feel I've lost a friend as well as an efficient officer. He was popular with everyone, generous and open-handed to an extraordinary degree."
