Digest of Citation reads:
At Wolwespruit, South Africa, 38 personnel of Lord Strathcona's Horse were engaged at close-quarters by an enemy force, around 80 in number. After the order had been given to retire, Sergeant Richardson, under very heavy crossfire, rode back and picked up a Trooper, who was wounded in two places, and whose horse had been shot from under him, and rode with him, under fire, to safety. Sergeant Richardson, himself, was at the time of this act of gallantry, within 300 yards of the enemy and his own horse had been wounded.
