| Citation: | Italy. Citation for MID: This C.Q.M.S. has done consistently excellent work since joining the Divisional Provost Coy. in December of 1944. He started at the very bottom and by dint of extraordinary patience, unflagging energy and week after week of selfless hard work which entailed extremely long hours has built his part of the Company organisation into a sound healthy, and efficient department. His work has been particularly praiseworthy in connection with Indian soldiers of whom he had no previous knowledge. In particular he has proved himself to be most able during mobile operations.Maj G W Jones APM 10 Indian Div. Brig L J B MacDonald Comd. 10 Indian Div.
