** 0600 hours 23 May 1944 – 1000 hrs 24 May 1944. Adolf Hitler Line, Italy. In the action against the Hitler Line Major Griffith’s squadron supported the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, a battalion of the 2 Canadian Infantry Brigade. 600 yards from the Start Line his squadron was held up by the obstacles and an extensive enemy minefield. Visibility was 10 yards and the squadron came under very heavy enemy shelling and mortaring which continued incessantly for 28 hours. Touch was lost with the infantry and a battle commenced with the powerful anti-tank defences. Major Griffith controlled this battle on foot despite the heavy enemy fire and besides accounting for several snipers himself, his tank destroyed two Mark V tanks (Panthers), two 75 m.m. anti-tank guns, one 88 m.m. anti-tank gun and inflicted severe casualties on the enemy infantry. Four of his Churchill tanks were destroyed in this action. As it was found impossible to by-pass the minefield and all attempts at gapping were unsuccessful, Major Griffith decided to consolidate his gains. To do this, he left the safety of his tank and for many hours on foot and under intense fire, directed the forming of a strong point. He helped considerably in the re-organization of the infantry and directed the clearance of casualties. He held this position against constant enemy actions throughout one day and one night and would only leave the area when ordered to do so during the following morning when the battle had been won. His clear appreciation of the situation, his complete disregard for his personal safety, his coolness and daring were an inspiration to all the troops in the area and there is no doubt that his action in pinning down powerful elements of the enemy defenses helped considerably in the forcing of the Hitler Line.
Recommended 28.05.1944 by Lt.Col. E.V. Strickland, Commanding Officer North Irish Horse, endorsed by Brig. J.L. Tetley, Commander 25th Army Tank Brigade, Brig. T.G. Gibson, Commander 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade, Lt.Gen. E.L.M. Burns, General Officer Commanding 1st Canadian Corps, Lt.Gen. O.W.H.
