When this objective had just been gained after bitter fight: ing, and the summit of that strong bulwark in the Kriem- hilde Stellung was being organized, Private Neibour was sent our on patrol. with his automatic rifle squad to enfilade enemy machine-gun nests. As he gained the ridge he set up his automatic rifle and was directly wounded in both legs by fice from a hostile machine gun. The advance wave of . the enemy troops counter-attacking had about gained the ridge, and although practically cut off and surrounded, the remainder of his detachment being killed or’ wounded, this gallant soldier kept his automatic rifle in operation to such effect that by his own efforts and by fire from the skirmish line of his company, at least one hundred yards in his rear, the attack was checked. Four of the enemy attacked Private Neibour at close quarters. These he killed. Private Neibour captured eleven prisoners at the point of his pistol and, although painfully wounded, brought them back to our lines. The counter-attack in full force was arrested to a large extent by the single efforts of this soldier, whose heroic exploits took place against the skyline in full view of his enure battalion: Home Address J.
