He knocked out the enemy infantry from the trenches, “being in front and inspiring hundreds with courage and selfless courage”, he began to pursue and “brought” his unit to a cold weapon strike. As a result, some of them chopped off about a hundred enemy infantrymen and captured six officers and more than two hundred lower ranks , as well as two active machine guns. For these actions he was presented for the award and became the St. George Knight [1] [2] .
