James Duffy.
"For most conspicuous bravery whilst his company was holding a very exposed position. Private Duffy, a stretcher-bearer, and another stretcher-bearer went out to bring in a seriously wounded comrade. When the other stretcher-bearer was wounded, he returned to get another man; when again going forward, the relief stretcher bearer was killed. Private Duffy then went forward alone and, under very heavy fire, succeeded in getting both wounded men under cover and attended to their injuries. His gallantry undoubtedly saved both men's lives and he showed throughout an utter disregard of danger under very heavy fire."
