Wounded, he carried out his orders just the same, delivering important information, and as soon as his wounds had been dressed he returned to where the battle was fiercest. Having seen a machine-gun section with no officer in charge, he took command and put it back into action, to the great admiration of the gunners and making an effective contribution to the battle until, having been wounded several times, he died over the gun with the name of Italy on his lips".
