From the London Gazette dated 12 November 1918:
"687962 Sjt. D. H. McLean, Infy.
This N.C.O., in charge of a scout section, preceded his battalion in company with an officer. He successfully led his section against four machine-gun posts, and on each occasion captured the guns and killed, wounded or captured the crews, personally accounting for at least twelve himself. A few days later he led a small party against a strong post, killing two and capturing the remainder of the garrison."
