Under intense enemy machine-gun and rifle fire, Captain O’Malley went to the rescue of wounded British soldiers, dressed their wounds, and assisted in carrying them to places of comparative safety. While thus engaged one of the stretcher bearers in the rescue party was killed and another wounded. These men Captain O’Malley also assisted in carrying to the British dressing station.
