Digest of Citation reads:
Whilst advancing, with five others, across the open ground near Ledeghem, Belgium, on 14th October 1918, the party were subjected to heavy rifle fire at close range. The fire came from a strongly held position in a house. Private Moffat, through a hail of enemy fire, rushed forward towards the house, threw bombs. Then working his way to the rear of the house, single-handedly, rushed the door, killed two of the enemy and took 30 prisoners .
