Digest of Citation reads:
During the action on the 27th July, 1880 at Maiwand, Afghanistan, Sergeant Mullane, when the battery to which he belonged was on the point of retiring, he ran back about two yards and picked up Driver Pickwell Istead, who was wounded, and laid him on a limber. Unfortunately the wounded man died almost at once. During the retreat, Sergeant Mullane volunteered to go for water for the wounded men. He did this by entering one of the villages, where so many men had previously lost their lives.
Additional information: He later became a sergeant major and was, on his discharge, given a pension.
