* For conspicuous gallantry and able leadership. In particular, in the successful attacks on the Fresnes-Rouvroy line on October 7th and Drocourt-Queant line on .October 11th, 1918, resulting in the capture of many prisoners and much material, his resourcefulness and gallantry under fire were most marked. He personally exploited successes, and by his grasp of the situation in the afternoon was instrumental in seizing a most important tactical point which was holding up the corps on the right.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty after assuming command of his battalion. Throughout the operations he did yeoman service in maintaining the efficiency and fighting spirit of the battalion and in covering the withdrawal of other troops. He showed great coolness and efficiency in handling his men.

* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He handled his company with great dash and skill in a week's fighting. On one day he drove off three attacks, constantly patrolling the line and encouraging his men.

Grenadier Guards [The night of 3 Aug. 1944 passed comparatively peacefully, disturbed only by a German who bowled grenades into the leading platoon’s position. At dawn a patrol was sent out to find the German, but its departure unfortunately coincided with the first of a series of enemy counterattacks on Drouet Spur, and the patrol had great difficulty in getting back. This first counter-attack was beaten off by the combined fire of the company and No. 3 Squadron, and for three hours there was a lull in the fighting. At about 10 o’clock the enemy cascaded the company's position with shells, and these turned out to be the prelude to a much heavier counter-attack, supported directly by one tank and indirectly by several others. The shelling was severe, and 2/Lieut. J.A. Barry, second-in-command of the carrier platoon, was killed.] |

** Citation for the award of a Bar to the Military Cross to Temp. Capt. W.J.O. Bartlett: "Captain BARTLETT was commanding an assault troop of Buffaloes on the crossing of the River IJSSEL on 12th April 1945. The blowing of two gaps between the Buffalo forward assembly area and the river bank was unsuccessful. This officer, however, using great initiative, but only after considerable difficulty, succeeded in getting two Buffaloes over the bund, despite heavy mortar fire, and after making a personal reconnaissance of the length of the bund which was being swept by automatic fire. With these two craft he completed the assault crossing, and on his return to the near bank organised a ferry service with his two Buffaloes, carrying across by this means the remainder of the assaulting infantry. This ferry service was organised under intense enemy fire in an exposed position on the near bank of the river. As the Squadron Reconnaissance Officer had been wounded, this officer assumed the duties of Squadron Reconnaissance Officer and immediately taped and lamped Buffalo exits on the far bank to guide succeeding Buffaloes then ready to proceed along an alternative route."
