** During recent months Major G.B. Courtney has taken part as an officer of the Special Boat Section of the Special Service Brigade in operations concerned with the escape of General Giraud from the South of France, with the landing of agents in enemy territory and in two operations on the east coast of Sardinia designed principally to mislead the enemy. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham, Commander in Chief, Mediterranean, has reported on Major G.B. Courtney’s bravery, devotion to duty and leadership in the above operations and I have no hesitation in recommending him for the Military Cross. He has, over a long period, set a magnificent and consistent example to all under his command. (L.G. 11.11.43)
