"Brigadier Rodger has made an outstanding contribution to the success of operations in the Netherlands by the able and aggressive manner in which he has carried out his duties as Chief of Staff. The efficient manner in which he has collated and interpreted all available information concerning enemy forces and our own resources and his accurate appreciation of the problems involved has been of considerable assistance to his commander in the planning of operations. His clear interpretation of his commander's plans to lower formations and his constant careful coordinating of their efforts plus those of the supporting arms has done much to ensure the successful liberation of Holland."
