* For conspicuous gallantry during
operations, notably when he went out and located a company which had lost its
direction, and was hung up by machine-gun fire. He found and reorganised the
company, and led it as far as possible towards its objective.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He took command of the
battalion at a very critical period, and organised the defence of the
position. His personal example and disregard for danger were most marked.
*** When the battalion advanced on the morning of October 10th. 1918. they
came under exceptionally heavy shell fire crossing the high ground north-west
of Le Cateau. The enemy's guns were firing chiefly over open sights. There
were a large number of casualties, and momentarily the battalion became
somewhat disorganised. He at once ran forward, and by his absolute
fearlessness and gallant leadership was greatly instrumental in rallying the
men and enabling the advance to be resumed. He led one of the front companies
until it was reduced to six other ranks, and when the advance was held up,
made his way back to battalion Headquarters over 600 yards of open country
exposed to snipers, machine-gun fire and shelling, bringing a valuable report.

the most primitive and improvised apparatus, Captain Markowitz has shown
skill and ability of an outstanding degree. His training of transfusion
teams, his development of simple techniques for jungle surgery and his

shown great disregard for personal danger and risk of brutality in order to
serve his patients. |

in the open for several hours, keeping down hostile fire and denying the ridge
600 yards distant to the enemy. He also silenced, two 77 mm. guns, which were
firing on the troops at about 1,500 yards range. His intrepid behaviour set a
fine example.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while in command of his
battery, when his able dispositions greatly minimised casualties at a time of
persistent heavy shelling. On one occasion a direct hit was obtained on a
dug-out, killing and wounding its occupants and setting fire to the camouflage
and ammunition in a gun-pit. His prompt efforts were most successful in
getting away the wounded and putting out the fire. Throughout the operations
he set a fine example of cheerfulness and determination under very trying
conditions. |

Recommendation for the Distinguished
Service Order: At
Sirte on 12/13 December this officer was instrumental in leading and succeeded
in destroying with a small party of men, many aeroplanes, a bomb dump and a
petrol dump. He led this raid in person and himself destroyed and killed many
of the enemy. The task set was of the most hazardous nature, and it was due to
this officer's courage and leadership that success was achieved. I cannot
speak too highly of this officer's skill and devotion to duty. [Recommended
by Brigadier B.W.Reid]
** Recommendation for the 1st
Bar to the DSO: Operation
"Husky", Sicily, On July 10th 1943 & 12th July 1943, Major
R.B.Mayne carried out two successful operations. The first, capture and
destruction of coastal defence battery on Capo Murro Di Porco, the outcome of
which was vital to the safe landing of X111 Corps. By nightfall 10/7/43, SRS
had captured three additional Btys, 450 prisoners as well as killing 200 to
300 Italians The second, the capture and holding of the town of Augusta. The
landing was carried out in daylight, a most hazardous combined operation. By
the audacity displayed the Italians were forced from their positions in masses
and most valuable stores and equipment was saved from certain destruction. In
both these operations it was Major Mayne's courage, determination and surperb
leadership which proved the key to success. He personally led his men from the
landing craft in the face of heavy machine gun fire and in the case of the
Augusta raid, mortar fire. By these actions he succeeded in forcing his way to
ground where it was possible to form up and sum up the enemy's defences. [Recommended
by Colonel H.J. Cator MC]
*** Recommendation for the 2nd
Bar to the DSO: Lt.Col.
R.B.Mayne DSO has commanded 1st SAS Regt throughout the period of operations
in France. On 7th August 44 he was dropped to the "HOUNDSWORTH" base
located west of Dijon in order to co-ordinate and take charge of all available
detachments of his Regiment and co-ordinate their action with a major airborne
landing which was then envisaged near Paris. He then proceeded in a jeep in
daylight to motor to the "GAIN" base near
Paris making the complete journey in one day. On the approach of Allied forces
he passed through the lines in his jeep to contact the American forces and
lead back through the lines his detachment of 20 jeeps landed for operation
"WALLACE". During the next few weeks he successfully penetrated the
German and American lines in a jeep on four occasions in order to to lead
parties of reinforcements. It was entirely due to Lt.Col. Mayne's fine
leadership and example, and due to his utter disregard of danger that the unit
wasable to achieve such striking success. [Recommended
by Brigadier R.W. Mcleod]
**** Recommendation for the 3rd
Bar to the DSO: On
Monday April 9th 1945, Lt.Col. R.B.Mayne was ordered by the GOC 4th Canadian
Armoured Division to lead his Regiment (then consisting of two armoured jeep
squadrons) through the British lines and infiltrate through the German lines.
His general axis of advance was N/East towards the city of Oldenburg, with the
special task of clearing a path for the Canadian armoured cars and tanks, and
also causing alarm and disorganisation behind the enemy lines. As subsequent
events proved the task of Lt.Col. Mayne's force was entirely and completely
successful. This success however was solely due to the brilliant military
leadership and cool calculating courage of Lt.Col.Mayne who, by a single act
of supreme bravery drove the enemy from a strongly held key village thereby
breaking the crust of the enemy defences in the whole of this sector. The
following is a detailed account of the Lt.Col's individual action which called
for both unsurpassed heroism and cool clear sighted military knowledge. Lt.Col.Mayne
on receiving a wireless message from the leading squadron reporting that it
was heavily engaged by enemy fire and that the squadron commander had been
killed immediately drove forward to the scene of the action. From the time of
his arrival until the end of the action Lt.Col. Mayne was in full view of the
enemy and exposed to fire from small arms, machine guns, sniper rifles and
Panzerfausts. On arrival he summed up the situation in a matter of seconds and
entered the nearest house alone and ensured the enemy here had either
withdrawn or been killed. He then siezed a Bren gun and magazines and single
handly fired burst after burst into a second house, killing or wounding the
enemy there and also opened fire on the woods. He then ordered a jeep to come
forward and take over his fire position before returning
to the forward position where he disposed the men to the best advantage and
ordered another jeep to come forward. He got into the jeep and with another
officer as rear gunner drove forward past the position where the Squadron
Commander had been killed a few minutes previously and continued to point a
hundred yards ahead where a further section of jeeps were halted by intense
and accurate enemy fire. This section had suffered casualties and wounded
owing to the heavy enemy fire and the survivors were unable at that time to
influence the action in any way until the arrival of Lt.Col.Mayne. The Lt.Col.
continued along the road all the time engaging the enemy with fire from his
own jeep. Having swept the whole area with close range fire he turned his jeep
around and drove down the road again, still in full view of the enemy. By this
time the enemy had suffered heavy casualties and had started to withdraw.
Never the less they maintained intense fire on the road and it appearded
almost impossible to extricate the wounded who were in a ditch near to the
forward jeeps. Any attempt of rescuing these men under those conditions
appeared virtually suicidal owing to the highly concentrated and accurate fire
of the enemy. Though he fully realised the risk he was taking Lt.Col.Mayne
turned his jeep round once more and returned to try and rescue these wounded.
Then by superlative determination and displaying gallantry of the very highest
degree and in the face of intense enemy machine gun fire he lifted the wounded
one by one into the jeep, turned round and drove back to the main body. The
entire enemy positions had been wiped out, the majority of the enemy having
been killed or wounded leaving a very small percentage who were now in full
retreat. The Squadron having suffered no further casualties were able to
continue their advance and drive deeper behind the enemy to complete their
task of sabotage and destruction of the enemy. Finally they reached a point 20
miles ahead of the advance guard of the advancing Canadian Division thus
threatening the rear of the Germans who finally withdrew. From the time of the
arrival of Lt.Col.Mayne his gallantry inspired all ranks. Not only did he save
the lives of the wounded but he also completly defeated and destrayed the
enemy. [Recommended
by Brigadier J.M.Calvert DSO]

* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty on the 4th November, 1918, when the situation about Landrecies was
obscure, and the second barrage had to be postponed, he volunteered to go
forward and obtain information. He made a most daring reconnaissance,
returning with information of the highest value, which resulted in the
cancelling of the barrage. From 4th to 10th November he acted as battalion
liaison officer to the advanced guard, during which period he showed the
greatest energy and courage, the accurate messages he sent back being often
the only information obtainable from the front. |

* As Brigade Veterinary Officer he has displayed a
ceaseless and untiring devotion to duty throughout the difficult period of
converting to Animal Transport a formation previously mechanised. His
determination and enthusiasm have been an inspiration to all, and the very high
standard of animal management prevailing throughout the Brigade, and which now
enables the Columns successfully to operate in an almost trackless mountainous
country, is due no less to his unfailing cheerfulness than to his exceptionally
skillful guidance of personnel who, a few months ago, had little or no
experience of animals.
Recommended 04.06.1944 by Brig. L.E.C.M. Perowne, Commader 23rd British
Infantry Brigade, approved 15.09.1944 by Maj.Gen. W.D.A. Lentaigne, commanding
