Pte Hollebone at once went forward through heavy LMG fire directed at him from a flank and having dressed his wounds, assisted in carrying the casualty to safety. A further call was then received from another locality and Pte Hollebone again went forward. During the dressing of this casualty's wounds, Pte Hollebone was under continuous rifle and LMG fire and the enemy attempted to grenade him and the wounded man from a distance of fifteen yards. With total disregard for his safety Pte Hollebone completed his task and then assested in the removal by stretcher of the two wounded men through very difficult country.
