Action for which recommended :- |

|
This African Soldier showed great courage and dash during mopping up operations on 17th April 1944. Disdaining to fire his rifle from close range he literally leaped from bush to bush bayoneting the enemy wherever he found them. Since this date, though on one occasion stunned by any enemy grenade bursting by his head, he has done consistently good work and is invariably cheerful and stout hearted. |
