* During the Radfan operations Lieutenant-Colonel Farrar-Hockley's battalion was called upon to perform an extremely difficult ten-mile advance into mountainous enemy territory, and .then to attack and occupy an enemy base. This base was highly inacessible and strongly defended. The whole operation was fraught with tactical and administrative difficulties and 'included two hard fought battles as well as several skirmishes. Largely due to the inspiration and exceptional leadership of its Commanding Officer, the performance of this battalion during this very testing period was admirable. During the battle which developed in the enemy base, the helicopter in which Lieutenant-Colonel Earrar-Hockley was making a reconnaissance was brought down beyond our lines by enemy fire. Having with some difficulty rejoined his battalion, which by that time was pinned down, and although still under fire himself, he launched a well executed attack which finally drove the enemy from their position. This was only one example of the energy, drive and resource with which this officer inspired his battalion at this time. Whether personally leading patrols into enemy country, or by his own example drawing forth exceptional efforts from his men, or improvising ingenious methods of supply, Lieutenant-Colonel Farrar-Hockley's leadership and bravery were of a high order. The services rendered by this gallant officer in furtherance of these operations were outstanding during this very difficult period.
