At one time several shells landed at once in the vicinity of Capt. Archibald, one of which buried him 'and another killed three men, mortally wounded a fourth and seriously- wounded four others. "This officer . immediately extri- cated himself from the debris and despite the eontinusons shelling, organized the evacuation of the wounded and gersonsally pulled out the ammunition from the burning trailer thus preventing another ex- plosion and further loss of life. Al- though suffering from severe 'burns, Capt, Archibald realized that the re- giment was taking an essential part in the divisional artillery program and that it was necessary, therefore; foreverypossible gun to be in action in order to obtain the desired fire effect. Disregarding his personal safety entirely; he re -organized his troop and with great initiative and determination caused his guns to continue firing despite the continu- ous shelling. His calmness and con- fidence combined with his inspired leadership were of considerable as- sistance to the results obtained by the supporting fire of the 'unit and the subsequent success of the in- fantry brigade."
