LG Sup 14 January 1918 - From original documents "Sir With reference to the recent action of 20th (September 1917) inst, I herewith beg to bring to your notice 4503 Sergeant Cummings, A. On taking control of B Company, I found that Sergt. Cummings had partly re-organised the Company, and was directing operations in a cool and excellent manner, B Coy left flank then being in the air. This N.C.O. took charge of the Company when all the Officers were incapacitated, and is consider deserving of some recognition. - Victor S. Dickerson 2/Lt" |
