Citation:   Italy. Citation for MC: During the attack on FOSSACESSIA (MR396046) on 30 Nov this officer was responsible for dealing with a particularly heavily defended part of the village. Due to Lt. Wilson's leadership the task was rapidly executed despite the fact that he was badly shaken when the first house he entered received a direct hit by a shell. Two days later on the TREGLIO ridge (MR 3607 Lanciano) Lt. Wilson and his platoon beat off two enemy counter attacks and thus played an important part in holding the ground already won. This officer later took over command of another Coy, when all its officers had been wounded, and for three tiring days led it with great skill & determination. He has been tireless & set a high example to all. I strongly recommend the award of the M.C. |
