B.E.M. London Gazette 14 June 1945.
The original Recommendation states: ‘W/Sergeant Joan Littleton, Group Headquarters, Nottingham Sub-District Group, A.T.S., has shown outstanding zeal and ability in her work since joining in August 1939. She is a most reliable and conscientious N.C.O. She has had the organisation and administration of the Officers’ Mess in which, in the case of the K.R.R.C. Mess, was sixty Officers and the entire responsibility of the A.T.S. Officer’s Mess of between thirty and forty members. Her unselfishness and exceptional qualities as a N.C.O. has precluded her from Commissioned rank.’
