" "Throughout the campaign from 1944 onwards this officer has been commanding a platoon. Owing to the very fine qualities of leadership shown, coupled with a tactical skill well above the average of his rank, he has been selected for a number of special jobs, all of which he has carried out with great success. His determination to accomplish the mission no matter how difficult, his courage and coolness often under intense enemy fire and his resourcefulness has been an inspiration to the men under his command.
