During the attack near MORLANCOURT, Southh of ALBERT on the night 28/29th July, 1918 Cpl Quinn as section commander showed conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. His handling of his section throughout the operation was done with exceptional skill and he worked indefatigably during consolidation of the newly won position. During consolidation he moved around in front of his position and while doing so encountered a party of three of the enemy.
