Citation:   BEF. Citation for MC: As the DAPM of the 46th Div he showed the greatest initiative in organising the movement of traffic when it was vitally important to prevent blockage of the roads. He showed exceptional powers of command under fire and was always to be found at stretches of the road where shelling or bombing was heaviest, thereby giving the traffic control personnel an admirable example of coolness and devotion to duty.
