* In the action at Agheila on the 14th Dec.
42 Lt. Bethell-Fox was in command of the right hand flank troop of the
Crusader Squadron, during the whole of this day he showed the highest
initiative, courage and good soldierly qualities in his movements against
the enemy. During this period he lost no opportunity in inflicting
casualties upon the enemy’s vehicles and personnel, without losing a single
tank in the afternoon, having seen what he thought to be a movement of enemy
tanks around his right flank, he moved forward, destroyed two tanks, and
then seeing an Anti Tank Gun in action on the far side of a ridge, engaged
and destroyed it in the face of heavy fire from this and other guns in the
vicinity. During this period his tank was hit many times. On his return,
seeing that the track of another Crusader had been split, and the tank
itself under heavy shell and machine gun fire, he went alongside, himself
adjusted the tow rope and pulled it out of action. At last light, when
getting out of his tank on entering close leaguer, he was wounded by enemy
shell fire. This officer’s conduct during the day is but another example of
the courage shown by him in the battle for the Sidi Rahman Track on 3 Nov 42
on which occasion he was also wounded. I consider that Lieut. Bethell-Fox,
on this, as on previous occasions, showed great initiative, fine leadership
and complete disregard for his personal safety. |

as part of the army of occupation in Rome. From there, I think that he must have
been seconded to another Regiment because the 2nd Battalion Kings Regiment saw
active service in Italy and Greece before returning home but his service period
extended into 1946 when he was posted to Palestine." |

[Recommendation for the award of the
Membership of the Order of the British Empire to T/Maj. G.C. Bogle]
During the period 1 Feb to 30 Apr 45 Major Bogle has been B[riga]de Major to 31
Arm[oure]d B[riga]de of 79 Arm[oure]d Div[ision]. The special equipments handled and the wide dispersion of
t[roo]ps under com[man]d over the whole of the army group front has called for a very high
standard of Staff work. The constant switching of equipment between
div[ision]s, corps and armies according to operational needs has been done quickly, efficiently and with the minimum disturbance to the fighting units themselves. Of necessity the
B[riga]de Com[man]d[er] must be away from his HQ [= headquarters] a great deal in order to cover the big distances between various
f[or]m[atio]ns with whom t[roo]ps under com[man]d have been operating. As a result Major Bogle has
frequently been called on to deal with senior off[ice]rs on much higher levels than in a normal
B[riga]de and also to take decisions and responsibility beyond his rank and appointment. He has consistently shown himself cool, capable and clear headed. He has always accepted additional
responsibility without hesitation and has at all times shown initiative and ability of
the highest order."

Recommendation for the award of an
immediate Military Cross
to Lt. the Hon. R.T. Boscawen:
On 3 October at BEM[M]EL Lieutenant Boscawen with a troop of tanks was
positioned in an orchard with some anti-tank guns but no infantry support
protecting the left flank of a battalion position. As darkness fell he withdrew
the tanks to more open ground behind the orchard. Heavy enemy artillery and
mortar concentrations on the orchard and his position began at 2230 hrs lasting
for two hours, the prelude to a heavy German infantry attack which successfully
occupied his original orchard and surrounding ones, driving the anti-tank
gunners from their guns. Lieutenant Boscawen in circumstances of extreme
difficulty and danger from bazooka fire in close country and in the dark,
ordered his tanks forward and cleared the enemy from his original orchard saving
the anti-tank guns from destruction. All this in addition was under heavy enemy
mortar and shell fire. As a result he successfully prevented the enemy from
establishing themselves in a position from which at daylight they could have
seriously threatened the position of the infantry battalion which he was
supporting. His decision to risk himself and his tanks in close country and in
the dark was a very bold one. By it he restored a most embarrassing and
dangerous situation. He fully realised that a desperate situation required
desperate measures and he accordingly took them with the most satisfactory
result. |
