Operation Market Garden

"This officer is Commander Royal Engineers of the Division and took part in the battle of Arnhem 17th - 25th September.

On the 22nd September in company with another officer he crossed the river in order to make contact with the formations of the 2nd Army. This crossing was carried out in daylight in view of the enemy and the rubber boat in which he was travelling was at times subject to heavy enemy fire.

As the result of the arrangements he made, parties of Polish Brigade were ferried across the river that night and the one following. During the night 24th/25th September this officer took a very active part in assisting a Battalion of the 43rd Division to be ferried across in order to come to the assistance of the Division on the North bank. He personally took charge of several dukws containing medical stores and other supplies and supervised their crossing of the river. Unfortunately none of the stores were able to reach the Division owing to strong forces of the enemy being in between. Colonel Myers however, with great determination passed through the enemy lines and reached the Divisional HQ with valuable information and instructions for the future withdrawal to the South bank of the river.

The leadership shown by this officer and his imperturbable conduct in face of fire and under difficult conditions was a magnificent example to all those with whom he came in contact."
