| Citation: Normandy. Citation for French Croix de Guerre with Vermillion Star. Capt McCOMBE is the officer commanding 605 Coy, Corps of Military Police. He landed with his unit early in the operations in NORMANDY, and was responsible for the control and escort of large numbers of enemy prisoners of war from the forward areas to the cages. The detachments of his Coy often had to work many miles apart. Capt McCOMBE, by his fine leadership and drive, maintained his detachments at a high degree of efficiency. His initiative and keeness under often dangerous conditions ensured the smooth working of all arrangements for the evacuation of prisoners of war.
