*
[Recommendation for the award of the Military Cross to Lt. T.D. Wilson] For
the operation in the vicinity of Nieuport 28-30 May, I placed him in command
of an improvised Light Tank Troop. He was constantly with his troop from about
1600 hrs. 28 May until nightfall 29 May and his handling of his troop played
an important part in holding up the German advance during these critical
hours. In addition he kept me well supplied with important information
throughout the period he was in action. The infantry in the sub-sector from
inclu[sive] Nieuport - the sea were constantly subjected to heavy S.A. [small
arms] and mortar fire and Lt. Wilson displayed great enterprise and activity
in locating and subduing M.G. [machine gun] posts. His activity was largely
instrumental in checking the many attempts made by the Germans to cross the
canal, particularly during the night 28-29. This was especially commendable as
tanks work under considerable disadvantage in darkness. A source of some
anxiety was the presence of enemy tanks just over an intact bridge in Nieuport
and Lt. Wilson handled his light tanks (in fact, ineffective against these
German tanks) in a manner which undoubtedly helped to deter the enemy tanks
from advanding and when one of his tanks broke down he assisted, at great
personal risk, in placing it to augment a road block already in position. From
1600 hrs. until nightfall 29 May he carried out some valuable reconnaissance
and fine action in the Wulpen areaduring the initial time when the Germans
were making great efforts to effect a crossing over the canal. His troop by
this time was reduced to 1 light tank and 1 armoured car but these drew heavy
artillery fire. This however, did not deter Lt. Wilson from maintaining his
position in support of the infantry for 3 or 4 hours.
Signed. Brigadier [A.J. Clifton] Commanding 2nd Armoured Reconnaissance
Brigade and Sector Nieuport-Wulpen in operations referred to.

His son writes: "He
volunteered for military service at the outbreak of war and went from England
around the Cape by troopship and up the Red Sea to Egypt. He served in the North
African Campagne, then to Sicily, up Italy to Rome and finally Yugoslavia. While
serving in North Africa, he wrote a handbook on practical navigation in the
desert using a prismatic compass, watch and the mileage reading of the
speedometer of the vehicle. My father worked for what was Morris Motors, Cowley,
as a service representative. He had no military experience and at 36 or 37 was
