Title: Distinguished Service Order citation

Description: AWARDED THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE. ORDER Maj. Ernest Wriothesley Denny, Hrs. (R. of O) For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a week's fighting this officer was acting as brigade major to the brigade. When it was difficult to obtain definite information, he visited every company in the front line held by the brigade, in spite of shell and machine-gun fire, sending in a comprehensive report as to the situation. His personality did much to encourage the young soldiers during a trying time for officers and men who had only just been sent to the division, and the majority of whom had not been under fire before.
