"For conspicuous gallantry in action. He encouraged his men during the attack by fearlessly exposing himself and cheering them on. When wounded he refused to retire, and urged his men on till, after being blown in the air by a shell, he was carried in, half unconscious"

For most conspicuous bravery and initiative and determination when an attack by a strong enemy force pierced our line and captured Brigade Headquarters and ammunition dump. Captain Gee finding himself
a prisoner, killed one of the enemy with his spiked stick, and succeeded in escaping. He then organised a party of the Brigade Staff, with which he attacked the enemy fiercely, closely followed and supported by
two companies of Infantry. By his own personal bravery and prompt action he, aided by his orderlies, cleared the locality. Captain Gee established a defensive flank on the outskirts of the village, then finding that an enemy machine gun was still in action, with a revolver in each hand, and followed by one man, he rushed and captured the gun, killing eight of the crew. At this time he was wounded, but refused to have the wound dressed until he was satisfied the defence was organised

‘I sent forward Capt Gee, Staff Captain, to try and get the attack forward. He was wounded almost immediately but refused to come in, sending me two reports as to the situation; finally a 5.9 unexploded shell lifted him over into our lines.’
