'During the advance on Mychingyi, 10 miles south of Mandalay, on March 19th, 'C' Company’s leading platoon was caught in some open ground which they had to cross. Cpl. MACE’s section were pinned by this enemy fire and MACE crawled forward to a better position of observation. In doing so he was hit in the stomach by a burst from an L.M.G. He crawled back, refusing to allow any of his section to move about to help him and gave clear and concise orders as to what his section was to do. He was very badly wounded and could only just manage to crawl. Not until his section had taken up the positions he had ordered and the situation was under control would he allow stretcher bearers to come out to get him in and even then he gave instructions to them on how to do it.

His soldierly conduct, though he was obviously in great pain, and his complete control of the situation undoubtedly saved the lives of many of his section and was a magnificent example of courage and disregard for his own safety.'

At 21:35 the lifeboat Julia Park Barry of Glasgow was launched and headed south to give aid, passing the tug on the way, returning to Peterhead with 9 of the crew which they had saved.
