* Recommendation for the award of an immediate Military Cross to A/Capt. D.F. Little: Capt. Little was in command of D Company 2/5th Royal Gurkha Rifles which was holding the forward south west positions of our box at Ningthoukong village. Early in the morning of 12 June 1944 the Japanese attacked  heavily, preceded by six tanks and accompanied by an intense artillery and mortar bombardment. The leading platoon of D Company and the neighbouring platoon on its left were blasted from their positions by the Japanese tanks, and casualties began to mount rapidly, particularly amongst sub-unit commanders, further to the rear through the enemy bombardment and close range fire of Japanese tanks not within our position. In consequence the situation became confused and for some time was critical. With great coolness and under heavy fire, Capt. Little reorganized his men and so re-grouped them that the enemy penetration on his front was halted and all further efforts by him to advance were thrown back. Meanwhile, a Japanese tank was halted in a lane about 40 yards from Capt. Little's headquarters and was causing casualties by the sweeping close range fire of its guns. Capt. Little at once took a PIAT gun and crossing some exposed ground under heavy and accurate fire stalked the tank down a narrow approach under full observation and secured two hits on it with his PIAT bombs. Throughout the day, Capt. Little handles his company with tactical skill and set a fine example of coolness and leadership under difficult conditions, combined with a complete disregard for his own personal safety.
[Recommended 21.06.1944 by Lt.Col. N. Eustace, commanding 2/5 Royal Gurkha Rifles, approved 25.06.1944 by Brig. R.C.O. Hedley, commanding 48th Gurkha Infantry Brigade, 27.07.1944 by Maj.Gen. D.T. Cowan, commanding 17th Indian Light Division, 28.07.1944 by Lt.Gen. G.A.P. Scoones, commanding IV Corps, 05.08.1944 by Lt.Gen. W.J. Slim, commanding 14th Army, 16.08.1944 by Gen. G.J.

* Brigadier O. de T. Lovett was commanding the 7th Indian Brigaede during the AKARIT operations. It was on his skilful planning and by his Brigade that the almost inaccessible ZOUAI and FATNASSA features were stormed with complete success against determined opposition on a moonless night, and over 2000 prisoners captured there. The fighting spirit of his Brigade comes from himself and was shown in its best form by the speed, determination and fierceness of the thrust. His tactical skill in this operation could not have been surpassed and his courage and leadership were of the very highest order. Throughout, he was in the middle of the battle under intense shell, mortar and small arms fire conducting operations with his usual coolness and decision. Though wounded in three places early in the battle, one a severe wound, he refused to leave his Brigade and continued in command till the night when the battle was finished and the position secured for good. Brigadier Lovett’s conduct was an inspiration to his whole Brigade and to all from outside who chanced to be near him at any time.
** Brigadier Lovett commanded the 7th Indian Infantry Brigade in its operations in the hills North and North West of CASSINO from 10 Feb ’44 to 28 Mar ‘44. During the whole of this time the Brigade remained in the line without relief, frequently in heavy rain and snow and under intense shelling and mortaring. The Brigade carried out a major operation against the MONASTERY feature on 17/18 Feb and suffered heavy casualties. During every hour in these hills casualties were being sustained at the rate of some thirty every day and the whole area was exposed to enemy fire and under direct observation. Throughout this period of very considerable strain Brig Lovett remained calm and cheerful, visiting his troops daily and frequently going right up to forward company positions along exposed tracks, to move along which by day brought down mortar and MMG fire. These tracks were covered by enemy snipers who were extremely active during daylight. It is largely due to his inspiring leadership and personality, contempt of danger and personal example that his Brigade were able to remain in position without relief throughout this period. His responsibilities were more than ordinarily large because the sector under his command required five battalions to hold and carry out the operational role assigned to him. Owing to the great difficulty in communications it was not until Brigadier Lovett had himself visited his forward positions on 18 Feb that it was possible to obtain accurate and invaluable information of the situation after the attack on the MONASTERY. His clear appreciation of the tactical side of the operations was always of the greatest value and his services throughout the period were outstanding. It was only through his own courage and energy that tired and very depleted battalions were kept offensively minded and the influence of his actions was most clearly felt whenever things were at their worst.
