His recommendation states: ‘For gallant and distinguished service at Lihons, 11 August, 1918. Sgt Hogg was in charge of a platoon throughout the attack. His platoon officer having been killed and he wounded. Though greatly fatigued by three days marching, he skillfully lead his platoon with total disregard for his personal danger and reached the objective without a casualty. During the enemy counter attack, he directed his platoon with great coolness and judgement, continually moving among and cheering his men. He personally accounted for many Germans. At one period about 80 of the enemy attempted to rush his position, but again by his direction and example the attack was beaten off with great loss to the enemy. Through his great devotion to duty he was directly responsible for the safety of his position and his most gallant actions had a direct bearing on the success of our operations’.
