* Curiously enough, Pavitt wrote to the War Office on the 30th June, 1958, claiming the award of the Efficiency Medal (Territorial) and, most surprisingly and probably because they
were unaware of his previous award of the New Zealand Efficiency Medal, this award was gazetted on the 28th November, 1958. |

* On the evening of 10 Sep 44, during the
advance to the ESCAUT CANAL, Major PEEL was in command of No. 1 Squadron, 2
Armoured Bn Irish Guards. Major PEEL was ordered to capture the bridge over
the canal at DE GROOTE BARRIER; this bridge was known to be prepared for
demolition, although it was believed to be still intact. As soon as the first
tank exposed itself, the enemy opened fire with an anti-tank gun. Major PEEL
at once directed the fire of his Squadron on to the bridge, while he himself
went on foot to reconnoitre the German position. The bridge was found to be
held by three 88mm guns and a large number of infantry. Major PEEL immediately
ordered a troop to charge the bridge at speed under the covering fire of the
remainder of the Squadron. He himself crossed the bridge with the leading
troop. The speed and energy with which this attack was conducted resulted in
complete success; the bridge was captured intact in spite of the obvious enemy
intention to deny it to us at all costs. The success of this operation was
very largely due to Major PEEL’s courage and determination to close with the
enemy. Throughout the action he displayed a complete disregard for personal
safety. The consistently high standard of leadership and gallantry displayed
by this officer have been a constant source of inspiration to his Squadron. 11

[Recommendation for the award of a
Military Cross to Maj. H.F.H. Philips]. Major Philips has consistently and successfully fought his Squadron since D-Day. His reconnaissances before each battle have been of the highest order, without thought
of his own safety, and have often led to the successful outcome of his tank battle. During every action he has shown great courage, resource and steadiness. On
Monday, 1st August, 1944, near Lisieux, the enemy put in a counter-attack at an early hour of the morning, causing the Infantry to begin to retire. Major Philips
reconnoitred the situation on foot, placed his troops at once, thereby restoring what might otherwise have been an ugly situation. Throughout the campaign his standard of
leadership and personal courage have been of the highest order.
Signed by Lt.Col. T.C. Williamson, DSO, Comd. E.Riding Yeo., RAC, 10
Nov 44; approved by H.D.G. Crerar, Gen, GOC-in-C, First Cdn Army [Citation

** [Recommendation
for the award of the Dutch order of the Bronze Lion to Maj. H.F.H. Philips].
Major Philips commanded a Sq[uadro]n of 19 tanks in the liberation of S. Holland.
His Sq[uadro]n led the attacks in the following engagements:- Schijndel and Boxtel Oct 23-Oct 24, 1944.
's Hertogenbosch Oct 25 - 28, Heusden Nov 4-Nov 5. It was in every battle starting at
Zommeren and Heide on Nov 13 and 14 to the final clearance of the left bank of the Maas opposite
Venlo and Roermond on 25 Nov. It was during the latter series of battles on 18 Nov that the infantry of 51 (H) Div
[= 51st (Highland) Infantry Division] were held up at Heringen by mines, demolitions and heavy fire. Major
Philips, who was up with the leading tanks led his Sq[uadro]n into the village. By the surprise and bold attack, thirty Germans were killed and much of their equipment destroyed. This bold action, typical of many others by Major
Philips during the campaign put all the Germans on this part of the front to rout. Major
Philips's fearless leadership throughout the whole campaign was an inspiration and example to all.

Yeomanry; approved by RMP Carver, Brigadier, Comd 4 Armd Bde [Citation courtesy of Mr Alain Brogniez]

[Recommendation for the award of the
MBE to Maj. & Asst.Paym. O.G. Plowman]
He has been employed in dealing with matters of policy and individual cases
covering all aspects of officers pay and allowances, with problems in
connection with payment of bills, and recoveries from Foreign Governments in
respect of Stores and Supplies, and in clearing up the Suspense Accounts and
aftermath of Palestine. His ability and hard work have been outstanding; he
never spares himself and his zeal is applied as much in the interest of the
individual as in carrying out Regulations and Instructions. His practical,
commonsense, yet sympathetic, approach to the many problems has been
invaluable. This has been especially noticeable in connection with clearing up
the aftermath of Palestine. He was in charge of the Command Services wing of
the Army Pay Office in Palestine up to its evacuation, and, consequent on his
organizing ability and foresight there have been no losses to the Public in
connection with those accounts.
Over
a period of 38 years service he has consistently maintained a very high
standard of selfless devotion to duty and loyalty to his superiors and Corps.
He has never spared himself and his cheerfulness, willingness to help others,
and unstinting hard work are deserving of the highest praise and fully merit
recognition. [Recommended by Brig. E.T.C. Smith, DPIC, GHQ Middle East Land
Forces]

* Lieutenant Pool's platoon was required to hold an
outpost on the western bridgehead held by the airborne troops over the Caen
Canal at Benouville. He held this outpost for 21 hours on 6th June 44, during
which time he was almost continuously attacked by superior forces. Lieutenant
Pool's personal example, cheerfulness and bravery were an inspiration to all
who served under him. In addition he led numerous offensive patrols which
played a material part in the successful action of his battalion.
