* Recommendation for the
immediate award of the
Military Cross to
WS/Lt. R. Jackson: This officer
commanded the assault troop of 'A' Squadron and on 11 Apr 45 he showed a high
degree of courage and leadership. After the bridge on the proposed Corps axis
EAST of BADBERGEN 1648 had been found blown, Lieut Jackson, on his own
initiative, led his troop for some two miles to the EAST along the road until he
made contact with the enemy. After engaging them vigorously, he was able to
reach an important vantage point from which he could secure valuable information
as to the condition of three more bridges on the route, thereby enabling the
work of developing the Corps axis to be put in hand without delay. Again on 13
Apr 45 in the area just NE of VECHTA 3759 his troop was reconnoitring a group of
farms when a neighbouring troop found itself surrounded by the enemy and pinned
to the ground. By skilful direction of his own troop, Lieut Jackson troop
succeeded in extricating the other troop and no time was wasted in the
continuance of their mission. On both these occasions this officer did much
valuable work in mine lifting and by his knowledge and example has brought his
troop to a high state of efficiency in their work which results in the minimum
of delay being caused when they are covering the advance of the Division.

Recommendation for the appointment as Member of the
Order of the British Empire of Maj. W.M. Jackson:
Major Jackson has, for the past six months, been responsible for equipping this
Corps with arms and vehicles and for the very complex moves of transporter
columns. Both problems presented great and constantly recurring difficulties. It
has been entirely due to Major Jackson's unswerving determination that the many
problems have been successfully dealt with. The hours of work be has put in have
been prodigious and are the more remarkable because of the cramped and noisy
conditions under which he has worked. I value Major Jackson's efforts very
highly and consider he played a most important part in the maintenance of the
Corps as an efficient fighting machine during the advance to Sfax and beyond.
[Recommended 13.07.1943 by Lt.Gen. Sir O.W.H. Leese Bt, commanding 30 Corps.]
** Recommendation for the award of the Military
Cross to Lt. W.M. Jackson: Between the
21st and 25th Nov. 1941, the 6th Light Anti-Aircraft Battery was an example to
the Column advancing on Jialo for cool courage and discipline. On the 25th
November Lieut. Jackson who was escorting a small detached column of the force,
seeing the infantry and armoured cars come under concealed and very heavy 2
pounder fire from the enemy entrenched in Jekhera, on his own initiative pushed
his anti-aircraft gun forward and knocked out the enemy gun. I have no doubt
that but for his gallant and spirited action the attack of the infantry and
armoured cars would have failed or would have suffered very severe casualties.
His coolness and presence of mind were of a very high order.
[Recommended 03.12.1941 by Brig. D.W. Reid, commanding 29th Indian Infantry
Brigade, approved 07.12.1941 by Lt.Gen. N.M. Ritchie, commanding 8th Army, and
08.12.1941 by Gen. C.J.E. Auchinleck, commanding Middle East Forces.] |

* Recommendation for the award of the
Distinguished Service Order
to Maj. S.J. James:
Major James commanded "D" Company throughout the period 18 May to 2nd June 1940.
Major James at Tournai held the important bridge at the South end of the town
for 3 days. So skilfully were his sections posted and so vigilant were his men
that I never had a moment's anxiety about this part of the line. No German was
allowed to appear in sight of this bridge & live. A German staff car with 6
occupants were among his victims. On 24 May, at Roesbrugge-Haringe, Major James
held a position as a sharp salient in the Brigade line. The enemy attacked the
Company on his right rear, and the right Company of the Battalion on his left
withdrew. Major James maintained his isolated position until the Brigade was
ordered to withdraw at 0200 hrs on 30 May. On the canal de Bergues on 31 May,
Major James beat off an enemy attack on the bridge for which he was responsible.
His plan for the extrication of wounded from a very exposed section post near
the bridge was well conceived and successfully carried out in the early hours of
1 June, 1940. Throughout the operations I have had the greatest confidence in
Major James and his Company. He never gave up one inch of the ground, was
imperturbable in the face of the most alarming reports of situations on his
flanks and communicated to everyone of his command his own cool determination
and confidence.
[Recommended by Brig. E.G. Miles, commanding 126th Infantry Brigade, approved
by Maj.Gen. W.G. Holmes, commanding 42nd Infantry Division.] |

Recommendation for the award of the
Military Cross to
Capt. W.E.F. Johns:
Courage and determination in hazardous operations. In the operation on Myebon
Peninsula Captain Johns was in charge of the canoes setting explosives on the
stakes. The work was done on mud flats 100 yards from a heavily defended beach
occupied by the enemy. In all two hours were spent on the beach and throughout
he displayed a high degree of courage and initiative, all the stakes in his
section being destroyed. The successful opposed and unopposed landings carried
out could not have been achieved had it not been for the preliminary operations
carried out by the C.O.P.P. teams. This act of approaching and exploding the
protective stakes guarding the selected beach on the morning of D Dayand under
the nose of the enemy is strongly commended for recognition.
[Recommended 13.01.1944 by Lt. A. Hughes, RNR, commanding COPP 3, approved by
Lt.Cdr. P.W. Clark, RN, commanding COPP.] |

Recommendation for the award of an
immediate
Military Cross
to T/Maj. C.A. Joss:
[Only page 2 avalaible] ... being successfully effected, two S.P.s [self-propelled vehicles] and a Tiger
opened up on the tanks from behind a high bank about 800 yards away. Eleven
tanks were knocked out, Major Joss's being among them. with superb courage and
coolness he entered another, rallied the remainder of the Squadron and continued
to provide invaluable and essential support right on the objective. Throughout
these long and tinring actions Major Joss remained calm and completely in
control of his Squadron. He was an example to all those around him, both
infantry and tank personnel. It was due entirely to his leadership and
tirelessness that two strange units finished up with such a complete
understanding of each other and obtained such brilliant results against
determined opposition.
[Recommended by by Lt.Col. [P.W.D. Hardy??], commanding 48th RTR, approved by
Brig. D. Dawnay, commanding 21st Tank Brigade, and finally by Field Marshal Sir
Harold R.L.G. Alexander, commanding Allied Force HQ.] (Citation kindly
