I'll do that now while I'm looking at it.
[EDIT] Checked, done, and two small amendments made direct to your post Garry.

M.C. Award
2nd Lt. Manfred Cohen, B.E. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He was in charge of a party carrying signal stores forward. His party came under very heavy fire, but he rallied his men and got the stores to their destination, making two journeys through an enemy barrage. He then established and maintained communication with very few men, working with untiring energy under heavy fire. During the withdrawal which followed he rallied parties of men, and helped to organise the new line. He showed great determination and contempt of danger, which were an example to all ranks.

I couldn't find it either, but I was also struggling to find his medal card, too. Will try to have another look this evening.

Jim,
Officers had to apply for their medals if they did not do so a medal card will not be available.

Here it is:
T./2nd Lt. Leopold Benjamin Seligmann, late Manch. B. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the enemy were turning the left flank of the battalion, he collected a small party of men and led them, under heavy fire, round the enemy's flank, and actually entered the enemy's trench, one of his N.C.O.'s capturing two machine guns.. By his example and daring he saved what might have been a critical situation. He continued to inflict severe casualties on the enemy until he fell wounded
