NW Europe (Burjus ridge / Le Hamel 17.08.1944) *

* Date of action: 17 Aug 44. Lt. Hills was commanding a Troop of C Squadron in support of a Company of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (D.C.L.I.) which had been ordered to capture LE HAMEL over the Burjus [= Berjou] ridge in order that the bridgehead on the Burjus [= Berjou] ridge could be firmly established. In order to reach the village of LE HAMEL it was necessary to pass through extremely thickly wooded country from which the enemy had not been cleared. Owing to this difficult country, his troop became separated from the Company of Infantry. However, he pushed forward to the outskirts of the village, during which time his whole troop were continually engaged by enemy Bazookas which he was unable to locate owing to the thick country and the fact that the enemy allowed his troop to pass and attacked him from the rear. In spite of having two of of his tanks badly damaged by enemy Bazookas, Lt. Hills continued to lead his troop forward until he reached the outskirts of the village. He continued to engage enemy positions in the village until he had used up all his ammunition. In spite of the failing light and continued attacks from enemy snipers and shortage of ammunition, Lt. Hills remained in position with his troop, until after darkness had fallen, and the Infantry arrived to clear the village. Lt. Hills displayed the highest courage throughout the whole of the action, and carried on quite regardless of his own personal danger, especially when he guided his troop on foot in order to find a way through this difficult and wooded country which was infested with enemy snipers and Bazookas.

1914-15 Star; British War Medal ; Victory Medal; Commander, Order of St Olav, Norway, 1945.
* An officer who shows remarkable skill and courage in co-operating with our artillery, and in carrying out photographic reconnaissances. He also proved himself a very gallant leader on a recent raid, when he led two low patrols over the lines, attacking with machine-gun fire and heavily bombing enemy reserves. The machine in which he was flying was rendered useless for further service, so intense was the hostile aircraft fire.
** A most courageous and determined officer who has rendered valuable service on low reconnaissances. On August 8th, after dropping bombs to form smoke screens, he was attacked by five scouts; his observer was wounded, but Captain Hilton, flying at an extremely low altitude, with great skill evaded his pursuers and landed safely. His machine was so badly damaged that it had to be replaced.

* On 6 Jun 44 Lieut. Hodgson held his platoon position with great gallantry & resource, although subjected to many attacks by greatly superior forces & inflicted at least 45 casualties on the enemy & 1 AFV knocked out. He so manoeuvred his platoon & personally led a counter-attack that the enemy was completely deceived as to his strength & positions & eventually withdrew. His own platoon suffered no casualties. Throughout all this time he was a constant example of courageous leadership & his cheerful disregard of danger was an inspiring example to his men.

A relative writes: "I was told by another relative that he was wounded again when allied aircraft bombed his camp in Germany (which one, I wonder, of the 120 approx?), and whilst they were playing soccer the football landed near the fence. Another officer asked permission to fetch it; so the soldier in the watchtower gave his permission. It happened again; so the same officer ran to fetch it again without asking; so the German in tower shot and killed him. Ernest, might have been repatriated by the Germans due to his wounds but I have no evidence to support this assumption."

* Captain Huttenbach has participated in a large number of sorties and has displayed skill and courage of a high order. During the battle of the Sangro on 1st December, 1943, he undertook very many sorties on that day and was responsible for silencing the enemy's mortar fire on 5 occasions, thus enabling our tanks to advance. In these operations, Captain Huttenbach displayed outstanding gallantry and his example was most inspiring.

* Special promotion for war services.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. His battery was very heavily shelled for a considerable time. On three occasions when fires were caused in gun-pits he succeeded in extinguishing them and preventing the ammunition from exploding. On several occasions he dug out and rescued wounded under heavy shell fire, and also under heavy fire rescued a wagon and team which had been thrown into a shell hole by a heavy shell. He showed the greatest gallantry, coolness, and contempt of danger, and the fine behaviour of all ranks was largely due to his example.
