Although previously wounded while carrying a wounded comrade to a place of safety,
rejoined his command, which partly occupied an exposed position upon a dike, remaining
there after his command had been withdrawn, singly keeping up the fire, and obliviously
presenting himself as a conspicuous target until he was literally shot off his position by
the enemy.
