[Recommendation for the award of the
Membership of the Order of the British Empire to T/Maj. G.C. Bogle]
During the period 1 Feb to 30 Apr 45 Major Bogle has been B[riga]de Major to 31
Arm[oure]d B[riga]de of 79 Arm[oure]d Div[ision]. The special equipments handled and the wide dispersion of
t[roo]ps under com[man]d over the whole of the army group front has called for a very high
standard of Staff work. The constant switching of equipment between
div[ision]s, corps and armies according to operational needs has been done quickly, efficiently and with the minimum disturbance to the fighting units themselves. Of necessity the
B[riga]de Com[man]d[er] must be away from his HQ [= headquarters] a great deal in order to cover the big distances between various
f[or]m[atio]ns with whom t[roo]ps under com[man]d have been operating. As a result Major Bogle has
frequently been called on to deal with senior off[ice]rs on much higher levels than in a normal
B[riga]de and also to take decisions and responsibility beyond his rank and appointment. He has consistently shown himself cool, capable and clear headed. He has always accepted additional
responsibility without hesitation and has at all times shown initiative and ability of
the highest order."
