Citation: 'For conspicuous gallantry near Passchendaele, east of Ypres, during the operations on 26th October 1917. The mortar of which this N.C.O. was in charge during the operation was subjected to very heavy shelling by the enemy and finally put out of action. Corpl. Haxby although wounded made repeated trips through the enemy barrage transferring the remaining ammunition to another mortar until he was again severely wounded and the remaining ammunition blown up. He set a fine example of gallantry and disregard of personal safety'.
