Citation:
"As Jemedar he was in charge of a party dropped behind the enemy lines. Although out of touch with his base, he continued to carry out his role, and obtained much valuable information by personal reconnaisance. He remained behind enemy lines for a period of fifteen months, and latterly assisted in the carrying out of DAH FORCE operations, during which time he showed high regard for duty and corresponding disregard for his persoal safety and interests."

Citation:
“This officer landed by parachute behind the enemy lines in Nov. 44. He rapidly built up a most efficient intelligence network which provided regular and reliable information of great value to NCAC and 10th USAAF. He also developed the nucleus of a guerrilla force which was already in a high state of efficiency when other officers were dropped in during Dec. to command and expand this force. It ultimately guarded the left flank of NCAC forces advancing down the road from Namkhan to Kutkai and inflicted over 80 casualties on the enemy. He was withdrawn in Feb. 45 and again landed by parachute behind the enemy lines in March where he presently is developing an intelligence network with his customary courage and efficieny.”
