He has furthermore raised his present unit to a high standard of efficiency and morale, as a result of which it evoked special praise from general officers visiting the formation on a major exercise at Annual Camp. His personal example and the standards he has instilled in his unit are recognised and acknowledged throughout 2 Port Task Force of which his unit has come to form a most valuable part.Recommended by: Col. F H Lowman, Commander 2 Port Task Force, GOC 50 (Northumberland)Infantry Division. |
