Awarded on:

February 18th, 1943

"This Officer has served in the Western Desert for nearly sixteen months. He has commanded the Intelligence Section attached to 101 Special Wireless section for the whole of that period.
His devotion to duty, his cheerfulness under all conditions, and his untiring efforts have been an example and inspiration to all ranks. Under-staffed and working abnormally long hours, he has contributed greatly to the records and knowledge without which such a unit is valueless. Any success of this Unit as a whole has been largely due to his efforts, and his outstanding work has laid the foundations for the future work of all such units in the field. The unit concerned has often had to work under conditions of considerable danger, but this made no difference to the high standard of his work."
