"Brig. GALLOWAY, B.G.S., Force H.Q., throughout the operation in GREECE, proved himself a brilliant Staff Officer with borderless energy and a very clear brain. Although working at times subject to heavy enemy air attack, he showed a complete disregard of personal danger and his cool judgment remained unaffected, it was due largely to his efforts that the orders during the operations and for the re-embarkation of the Force were issued and subordinate formations kept informed of what was expected of them."
