    As medical orderly attached to X Troop, he attended casualties under fire on the beach where he earned the admiration of his whole troop.

    During the street fighting, he repeatedly moved down a street which a German machine-gun was firing on, to rescue wounded men who were lying out in the roadway. He rescued six men in this way.
