Temp. 2nd Lt. George Arthur Hyde, 10th Bn., K. R. Rif. C.
For conspicuous gallantry. While creeping up to attack an enemy working party he met an enemy patrol, which he opened fire on at very close range. Finally his own party came under heavy fire and suffered casualties. He brought in one wounded man, and then at once organised a relief party which brought in the remainder.
