During operations near Gueudecourt on the night of 4th/5th November 1916 Lieutenant Colonel Hearne displayed great courage and resources in the collection and evacuation of the wounded. On the early morning of the 5th November he supervised the collection of wounded, during this time his party was under shell, rifle and machine gun fire, incurring some casualties. This officer collected and tended wounded in No Man’s Land, and placed them in a deserted German dug-out, while it was impossible, owing to the fire, to bring them in during daylight. At this time he was in charge of the 2nd Field Ambulance, AAMC. Since he has been ADMS of this Division he has carried out his duties with energy and ability and has given every satisfaction.’ (English)
