Tank engagement at SIDI REZEGH on 21.11.41 and south of that place on 23.11.41 and GABR SALEH on 24.11.41.
This officer showed conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when commanding a troop of ‘B’ Squadron, 7th Hussars, on 21.11.41.
He had two tanks destroyed under him, and on Nov 23rd and 24th he performed magnificent work in a scout car moving with the tanks and under heavy fire rallying isolated tanks, carrying messages between formation commanders when wireless communication broke down, and showing a complete disregard for his personal safety.
