"Since the inception of SWEM in April 1943 he has, by his zeal and steadfastness of purpose, built up a technical organisation which works smoothly and efficiently. At the Battle of Cassino the PEME Service showed its recovery and armament repairs were of a high order.

Encouraged by their DDME, PEME personnel worked unceasingly and contributed no small part in the brilliant achievements of 2 Polish Corps both at Cassino and during subsequent operations.

In addition to his sound organising ability, Lieutenant Colonel Suchodolski is a brilliant technical engineer, and it is entirely due to his unsparing efforts and leadership that PEME has been built up to its present working efficiency."
