B.E.M. London Gazette 1 January 1945. The recommendation states: ‘An N.C.O. of the Supplementary Reserve who, since his recall to service, in Sept. 39 has done much in the training of new personnel. A thoroughly loyal N.C.O. who within recent months has performed highly important liaison duties with General Headquarters, 2nd Echelon, 21 Army Group.
