[Part of the so-called Bladet commando unit secretly gathering information on enemy troops, was reported killed while storming a Japanese machine-gun nest in Burma.

* Recommendation for the appointment as Officer of the Order of the British Empire of Lt.Col. C.B. Macdonald: Since the reconstruction of the Territorial Army after the war Lieutenant-Colonel Macdonald has served continuously in 271 Field Regiment RA (TA). He has commanded the Regiment since 1 Novembor 1957. His service has been distinguished by his power of leadership and his devotion to his duty, to his Regiment and to the Army. A busy man, with his own large and expanding business he has little leisure but is tireless in his efforts for his Regiment, devoting more time to their interests than could reasonably be expected of any TerritoriaI Army officer. He welcomed the challenge of building up the volunteer strength of his Regiment. By his understanding, his personal enthusiasm and relentless efforts, and assisted by the high repute he enjoys in Sheffield, he has recruited young officers of a quality unlikely to be bettered in any Territorial Army regiment. This is the foundation on which he is building his Regiment. His success is reflected in the Regiment's fine spirit and in their determination to make it the best in the Territorial Army. Lieutenant-Colonel Macdonald has given outstanding service to the Territorial Army and justly deserves recognition.
[Recommended 04.12.1959 by Brig. G.W. Goschen, CRA 50 (N) Inf Div (TA)]

British War Medal; Victory Medal.
* 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.

* Recommendation for the award of the Military Cross to T/Capt. A.R.M. Main: Captain A.R.M. Main is Adjutant of the Regiment under my command. On the evening of 21 April [1945] the head of the Regiment reached Poggio Renatico, when fierce fighting started. By the light of burning buildings it was seen that a towed 150 mm gun and several German vehicles full of infantry were approaching the tail of the column about a mile back. When this was pointed out to Capt. Main he at once got into his tank and drove alone across country in the dark, through an area covered by 88 mm guns and destroyed the whole enemy column at point blank range thus securing the tail of the Regimental column from further interference. His tank was then engaged by bazookas and hand grenades and he himself received a painful wound in the face. In spite of this he continued to carry out his duties for a further 36 hours although hardly able to speak, until his relief arrived. This officers' prompt and courageous action and subsequent devotion to duty in a period of great strain contributed very largely to the success of the operation.
[Recommended by 26.04.1945 by Lt.Col. R.L.V. ffrench Blake, commanding 17th/21st Lancers, approved 01.05.1945 by Brig. F.N. Mitchell, commanding 26th Armoured Brigade, 06.05.1945 by Maj.Gen. H. Murray, commanding 6th Armoured Division, 14.05.1945 by Lt.Gen. C.F. Keightley, commanding 5 Corps, 18.05.1945 by Lt.Gen. R.L.

* For conspicuous gallantry and brilliant leadership at Les Mottes on 8th November, 1918. He led a gun at a gallop through the foremost infantry, coming into action at 700 yards, silencing several machine guns which were holding up the advance. He remained in action 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 award of an immediate Military Cross to T/Maj. J.K. Maxwell:  Major J.K. Maxwell commands "C" Squadron of the Regiment under my command. On 21 April, after the forcing of the Segni Gap, "C" Squadron was ordered to advance and seize Poggio Renatico. Major Maxwell ordered the Squadron to advance at full speed and on approaching the town the Squadron was fired by four 88 mms of a flak battery. Without hesitation the leading troops passed through the fire at high speed into the town which was held by enemy infantry. The leading tank was rapidly knocked out by bazookas but Major Maxwell led his own Squadron HQ into the town and so controlled the situation  by directing the fire of the Squadron and of his own tank that the heavy small arms fire was subdued and a large part of the enemy garrison surrendered to the tanks. As darkness fell, it was impossible to continue clearing the town so Major Maxwell skilfully extricated his Squadron and leaguered under fire under the walls of the town which was again entered and cleared next morning. It was entirely due to the spirit of daring and speed instilled into "C" Squadron by Major Maxwell's magnificent leadership, that the initial surprise was gained against very heavy opposition and this vital town was captured. On the previous morning Major Maxwell directed a very difficult operation, the advance and seizure of the main road crossing and blown bridge at Segni. This advance was carried out by tanks and infantry in the dark and resulted in the seizure of the village of Segni with its vital church tower. During this operation Major Maxwell's tank was blown up on a mine and he himself severely shaken. His leadership and personal disregard to danger throughout the four days operations contributed very largely to its success.
[Recommended by 09.05.1945 by Lt.Col. R.L.V. ffrench Blake, commanding 17th/21st Lancers, approved 10.05.1945 by Brig. F.N. Mitchell, commanding 26th Armoured Brigade, 14.05.1945 by Maj.Gen. H. Murray, commanding 6th Armoured Division, 18.05.1945 by Lt.Gen. C.F. Keightley, commanding 5 Corps, 24.05.1945 by Lt.Gen. R.L.

* 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.

24.11.1942     commissioned, Royal Army Veterinary Corps [emergency commission]
(06.1944)     attached as Brigade Veterinary Officer, HQ 23rd British Infantry Brigade

* 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 Special Force, and 06.05.1945 by Lt.Gen. O.W.H.
