Citation:

"General Tabor is second in command of the Polish Secret Army and Lt. Colonel Hancza is officer in charge of all arrangements for reception of stores despatched by S.O.E. They have worked under primordial conditions in extreme and continuous danger ever since the germans overran Poland and the fact that the Polish Secret Army, in spite of the unceasing efforts of the germans to liquidate it, is still playing a valuable part in the Allied war effort testifies to the skill, determination and courage of its leaders."

Recommendation:

"Major General TABOR is head of the Operations Branch of the Polish Secret Army in POLAND. He has been in charge of all operations in the past carried out against the forces of the german invader. For four years he has worked under conspiratorial conditions and in almost continuous personal danger. Under extreme difficulties, he has in secret rebuilt forces in POLAND, and worked out and put into operation, plans which have already been of great assistance to the Allies in the struggle against germany. Finally, he has undertaken at great personal risk, a visit to this country, with the object of co-ordinating the plans of the Secret Army with those of the Allies. He intends to return to POLAND shortly to carry on his work".
