AMIENS ROYE, 8th August, 1918, with 2/Lieutenant Robert McKinley Jamison, R.
Irish Rifles. Thrice on one date these officers carried out at extremely low
altitudes, and in face of intense rifle and machine-gun fire, reconnaissances of
an important road. During one of these reconnaissances, observing a party of the
enemy holding our infantry, they dived on them and forced them to retire, and on
another occasion they bombed a large party of the enemy, causing them to
surrender to our infantry. [7287
