When an enemy shell struck the gun position ofhis squad near Ancerviller severely wounding him,Corporal Bradley, then a private, coolly removed thegun to a place of safety and returned for the tripod,being wounded for the second time in so doing.Near Meurcy Farm this soldier, in command of hissquad, was severely wounded in the arm by machine-gun fire, but refused medical treatment, remainingwith his command until the objective had been takenand the line firmly established. During the advance on the enemy position nearLandres-et-St. Georges, Corporal Bradley again dis-played conspicuous coolness and courage in takingcharge of his section, after the section-sergeant hadbeen wounded, and directing the placing and firingof the guns.Distinguished Service Cross.
