* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty. His flank was completely exposed, both during the attack and after
reaching the objective, and he had to form a defensive flank with his company
throughout the whole action. On the enemy delivering a heavy counter-attack on
this exposed flank he formed his company to the right, and shattered it with
steady and admirably controlled fire. On reaching the objective he
consolidated, covering the flank of the battalion by digging a very strong
line, and also providing further protection for the flank of the division by
means of several machine guns. The complete success of the attack and the
immediate defeat of the hostile counter-attack were largely due to his
resource and prompt action.

[Recommendation for the immediate
award of a Military Cross to Lt. T.A.A. Whitaker].
On 17 October Lieut. Whitaker was commanding a group consisting of one motor
platoon and one sec[tion] carriers 8 R.B. [= 8th Battalion The Rifle Brigade]
and one t[roo]p of tanks 23 H [= 23rd Hussars]. The road south of Meerselo was
cratered by the enemy and trees had been felled across the road. These
demolitions were registered by the enemy and under heavy mortar fire. Lieut.
Whitaker at once began to clear the road-blocks and fill in the craters. Enemy
mortar fire was continuous and great difficulty was experienced in dealing
with the demolitions. In spite of this Lieut. Whitaker carried on with his
task with great courage and determination and was a fine example to all under
his command. Casualties were incurred and Lieut. Whitaker was wounded in the
leg. He carried on with his task and refused to be evacuated until his force
was ordered to stop work on the road, as another route had been been found.
Lieut. Whitaker's conduct during this operation was of the highest order and
he was the finest possible example to the men under his command.
