Fire was heavy from guns and light automatics situated in well bunkered positions and concrete emplacements. The fighting throughout the day was at very close quarters and at times was hand-to-hand. With magnificent bravery Lieutenant Weston inspired the men of his platoon to superb achievements. Without thought of his own safety he personally led his men into position after position, exterminating the enemy. Throughout, the leadership was superb, encouraging his platoon to the same fanatical zest as was shown by the enemy.
