Period:

Second World War (1939-1945)

Rank:

Corporal

Awarded on:

January 2nd, 1945

Recommendation:
"Corporal Wren was a member of a party of Royal Marines who escaped from a Prison train passing through Jugoslavia during 1941 and serving with the Chetnik Forces until joining the Allied Mission to Gen Mihailovoc Forces on 9 June 1943. He and the other Marines had made a household name for themselves wherever they went, and on return it has been obvious from the demonstrations of friendship that they left goodwill behind them everywhere. Corporal Wren has been most useful to the Mission as an Interpreter. By his personality, cheerfulness and good behaviour he has done much to maintain good relationships between our respective Forces.’

Recommended for a MM but downgraded to a BEM.
