9119 CSM A. COOK (Luton)
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Throughout operations lasting for many days, this Warrant Officer showed a coolness of demeanour and an accuracy of arrangement that had a most steadying effect on all near him. He was of great assistance to his company officer in organising defences, and in a retirement when he was covering a withdrawal under heavy enemy fire, his dispositions were admirably adapted to the object in view. His arrangements for the supply of ammunition to the firing line were excellent, and his control of his men until he became a casualty was characterised by calm courage and precise judgement.
