"Has decorated himself by brave action against the enemy on November
26th, 1947, when serving as a medic, during the execution of an assault
on the headquarters of a gang of terrorists at Toempang (near Malang,
Eastern Java), when a Bren gunner of the forward section was seriously
wounded, at the first call for medical attention, in spite of having
any cover against the heavy enemy automatic and rifle fire, rushing,
without fear, forward for a distance of 70 metres, crossing a
demolished bridge and attending to the heavy wounded man on the spot.
In this acting, besides dares, has also shown high feeling of duty and
sacrifice."
