2nd Lieut. J. Duncan.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty near Dumar on 30th September, 1918. With great skill he worked his guns forward to the edge of a pass which was packed with retreating enemy troops and transport. From the range of one hundred yards he inflicted heavy casualties, which resulted in blocking the road for further passage of the enemy, and the capture of many waggons, machine guns and a train which was on the line which ran through the pass.
