Dr Adrian O'Sullivan FRHistS writes: "The reason for the lack of a P/F is doubtless that after the war Joe Spencer joined MI5, where he served until retirement in 1954, and you will rarely if ever find SOE P/Fs of officers who were subsequently in the secret services (MI5/MI6) released into the public domain. However, in HS 8/971 (TNA) I find Joe Spencer's SOE symbol, which was D/H.79 (allotted in London). His name has been struck through in pencil, indicating that he was no longer employed by SOE at some time after the list of names and symbols was compiled. This is sufficient evidence for me that Joe was SOE before he was recruited into Security Intelligence Middle East (SIME) personally by Brigadier Raymond Maunsell in late 1941."

Troop, "A" Squadron, 1st
Battalion Royal Tank Regiment (22nd Armoured Brigade, 7th Armoured Division) (NW Europe) [commanded first tank to enter Hamburg; selected by his C.O., Lt.Col. Patrick Hobart, to lead the way in his Cromwell tank, and crossed seven bridges in rapid succession: ‘I should have checked each bridge, but after the first one there was no need to waste time on the rest.’] |
** On 23 March 1945, after the crossing of the Rhine, 1st Royal Tank Regiment was ordered to seize the village of Ramsdorf. A patrol of two light tanks was sent to reconnoitre the village and managed to get about half way in without incident. Then the second tank was hit by a Panzerfaust and set on fire. Meanwhile, accurate mortar and machine-gun fire was brought down on the patrol and further shots from the Panzerfausts were directed at the second tank. Captain Storey, who commanded the Reconnaissance Troop from which the patrol came, immediately went forward alone in his scout car to the scene of the incident. He extracted two wounded men from the burning tank and then set about organising a small defensive position with the remaining tanks and the few other men available. Realising the importance of clearing the village and gaining the river bridge so that the advance would not be held up, Captain Storey held on to his precarious footing in the centre of the village for two more hours, under continuous mortar and machine-gun fire, and with snipers working round to his flanks and rear, until the infantry could be brought up to join him. This officer undoubtedly saved valuable hours at a critical time in the operation and enabled the bridge to be secured in tact.

** Recommendation for the award of an immediate Bar to the Military Cross to Temporary Captain H.G. Stubbs: "During the advance from the SEINE to ANTWERP this officer has shown outstanding zeal and devotion to duty. At all times he has pressed forward to contact the enemy and has always acted with the greatest initiative and courage. At SECLIN on 2nd Sept 44, this officer found a crossing over the canal to the NORTH-WEST, which lead to the enemy defensive positions being outflanked. At BOOM on 4th Sept 44, Lt Stubbs was again the first tank to cross a bridge over the canal. The bridge was prepared for demolition and the NORTH end was held by the enemy, but although warned by civilians of the danger he showed great devotion to duty and crossed this bridge which was an essential link with ANTWERP. The same afternoon this officer commanded the leading tank which crossed the minefield on the outskirts of the city and was the first tank to enter ANTWERP harbour. He was responsible for the destruction of much enemy equipment and for the capture of many prisoners. He engaged a 1000-ton ship that was laying mines in the SCHELDT and sank it. The example of this officer was oustanding and he has been an inspiration to all ranks of the regiment."
Dated 6 Sep 44. Recommended by D.A.H. Silvertop, Lt.Col., commanding Officer 3rd Battalion Royal Tank Regiment, approved by C.B. Harvey, Brig., Commander 29th Armoured Brigade, G.P.B.
