* Recommendation from the
Deputy Director of the Operations Division (Irregular) (DDOD(I))
for the award of a Mention in Despatches
for Capt.
R.E.T. Tunbridge: "In connection with
the attached list of recommendations for honours and awards to the personnel of
the ACF, DDOD(I) desires to submit the work of Captain Tunbridge to the notice
of the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean. Captain Tunbridge succeeded to the
command of the African Coastal Flotilla in the spring of 1943 at a time when the
fortunes of the flotilla were at a low ebb and the morale of the personnel
lowered by the absence of active operations, and the difficulties in obtaining
well found ships and suitable equipment. In the face of the overwhelming
requirements of regular operations, no priority could be granted to the flotilla
in its struggles to effect repairs to the ancient craft available, and no
consideration could be given towards the provision of more suitable craft.
Moreover, the prestige of the flotilla had been damaged by the depredations of
“private navies” operating in the Mediterranean before the advent of DDOD(I).
The zealous but unconstitutional conduct of the sponsors of the “private navies”
had alienated the sympathy and understanding of local naval authorities who at
best regarded irregular operations with amused tolerance and ridicule, or at the
worst with impatience and hostility. Captain Tunbridge therefore, fresh from the
relatively straightforward business of the sea, was faced with a formidable task
with at first nothing to help him beyond directives and signals and letters of
encouragement from DDOD(I) coupled with periodical personal visits from the
latter and as much equipment as DDOD(I) could scrape together in the UK. In the
sixteen months Captain Tunbridge has been in command he has, with the assistance
of the Commander-in-Chief’s staff, not only succeeded in building up a highly
efficient force, but has restored the confidence of the flotilla in its work;
has overcome the prejudices of local naval authorities, with the result that the
flotilla now enjoys the maximum assistance in its work, and, above all, Captain
Tunbridge has succeeded in removing the convictions of the clandestine
authorities in the Mediterranean (since they have been largely deprived of their
private navies) that the formation of the African Coastal Flotilla would hamper
rather than advance their interests. This last achievement has been won at the
expense of an outwardly strictly neutral attitude to all clandestine authorities
and the exercise of exceptional patience, cunning and tact, for such is the
‘prima donna’-like temperament of those engaged on underground or subversive
activities that had the slightest preference been shown to one more than the
other (except as ordered by Allied Forces HQ) the competitors would have
immediately seized the opportunity as an excuse to re-embark on private
sea-going enterprises, chaos would have again resulted and the just prejudices
of local naval authorities never overcome. Thus it will be seen that Captain
Tunbridge in addition to his ability as an organizer and seaman has won a
diplomatic victory, and it has been necessary for DDOD(I) to set down the record
of his achievements in forceful rather than tactful language in order to
emphasize this latter point." |
