* This officer has commanded his Battalion throughout the operations. He has displayed exemplary calmness, determination and capability. After taking part in the operations at Donbaik Lt.Col. Theobalds suddenly found himself in command of the Brigade at Indin after the capture of the Brigade Commander and faced with the most difficult task of withdrawing the Brigade to Kyaukpandu in the face of strong enemy pressure. The success of this operation was entirely due to the plan made by Lt.Col. Theobalds & Lt.Col. Nicholson R.A. and passed over the air to me at Kyaukpandu. Since then 2/D.L.I. have been with the 4th Indian Brigade where they were all the time in the positions nearest the enemy and on one occasion acted as rearguard to this Brigade. Lt.Col. Theobalds has throughout been an inspiration and example to his Battalion.

* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When his battery was being relieved the position was shelled by an intense bombardment, which lasted for over two hours and caused many casualties in Loth batteries. The pits and ammunition of one section caught fire, and he succeeded in extinguishing this. Later, the telephone pit and mess shelter were wrecked, and he immediately led the way to the rescue of wounded men inside. The camouflage nets of three more guns were then set alight, and the ammunition began to catch fire. This he also saved by tearing down the burning camouflage and smothering the smouldering ammunition, some of which had already begun to explode. Not until all the fires had been extinguished, and he had seen every man, both wounded and unwounded, clear of the position, did he seek cover for himself. His great gallantry and exceptional coolness throughout the whole of this time were worthy of the highest praise.

His nephew Mr Derek W. Ewen writes: "I contacted my cousin re our uncle, and his memory is as follows--- After our uncle's officer training he was sent to the Artillery, thinks he served them in some coastal defence capacity. He later applied for a transfer to the Scots Guards. My cousin remembers our uncle being in the Barracks in London for a time. After that he was aware of our uncle being in the Middle East, serving in Eritrea with the military administration, who were there after the country was taken over from Italian control. After that he was in Greece again as part of the military administration, just at the time that the communists were trying to take over the country after the Germans had departed. My cousin's memory is that by the time our uncle left the army he was a Lt Col."
