T ./L t. Roy Godfrey Bullen Spicer, Res. Cav. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the situation was obscure, he went with a liaison patrol. Passing through a heavy fire, he proceeded along the front, and informed the post commanders of the
situation on their flanks, of which in most cases they were completely ignorant. He returned with accurate information of great value. Later,hewasabletorallysomebadly shaken i n f a n t r y , when his coolness and example encouraged them greatly.
