The Coy had been under observed enemy mortar and small arms fire throughout the day and at about 1600hrs immediately before the final assault on Potrau, Sjt Piercy's platoon came under very accurate and heavy M.G fire. This NCO at once rallied his platoon and pushed forward with all speed. Throughout the whole day's action he was prominent in leading every assault and in particular personally cleared a house in the village, capturing two snipers while under fire himself from two other houses. This NCOs complete disregard for his own personal safety, his gallantry and initiative were an inspiration to all ranks and by his loyal and courageous conduct he was largely responsible for a successful engagement.The events of 1 May are typical of Sjt Piercy's consistent gallantry and initiative. He has served with the battalion in the C.M.F and B.L.A, and his outstanding courage in action has set an example of the finest order to his men' CONDITION REPORT: .
