*
Part of the citation read: "His
aggressive spirit was a fine example to all Commanding Officers of Coastal
Force Craft, and is in the finest traditions of the service."
** The citation read: "His first task was to get his
ship into reliable running order… a series of serious mechanical breakdowns
had undermined the morale of her crew…under Lt Marshall’s direction the
ship rapidly became operational. After accompanying two operations as an
observer…Lt Marshall embarked on a series of 12 faultlessly executed
expeditions. Four of these operations were to parts of the North French coast
not previously visited; Lt Marshall displayed outstanding skill in locating
accurately these new pinpoints, entering narrow rock strewn channels without
hesitation. On one occasion he pressed on and completed an operation of great
importance in a North-Easterly gale gusting to force 8, under conditions which
would have made a less determined officer give up long before reaching the
French coast. MGB 503 embarked 100 Allied airmen from a beach in enemy
occupied France between January and March 1944. The procedure involved lying
at anchor within a mile of enemy watchposts for between two and four hours at
a time. The standard of efficiency to which Lt Marshall had trained his surf
boats’ crews needs no emphasis in view of these figures. By skilful tactics
and cool and correct judgment, Lt Marshall avoided detection by enemy sea
patrols and convoys indicated by radar and visually on a number of occasions.
His high qualities of leadership and seamanship are worthy of recognition."

Adventurer, intelligence officer, and author.
Minshall was well known for his travels, which included a two-year sailing trip
on various bodies of water throughout Europe and a trek across the Sahara desert
in a three-wheeled light truck, and he is thought to be one of the men on whom
author Ian Fleming based his notorious spy character, James Bond. Prior to World
War II Minshall served as a sub-lieutenant for the British Royal Navy Volunteer
Reserve, and during the war he worked for Great Britain's Special Operations
Executive. His first mission (1940) was to Romania where he was disguised as the British Vice Consul in Bucharest on a mission to
blow up some tankers in an attempt to block the Danube (unsuccessful as it turned out because the Germans were 'tipped
off'). Among his intelligence assignments was the control of operation
"Shamrock", in which he led a small group of Frenchmen to the Gironde
Estuary on the west coast of France where they studied the movements of German
submarines. After organizing special naval intelligence in New Zealand, Minshall
was promoted to commander and sent in 1943 to establish a naval liaison between
Great Britain and Yugoslavia. Minshall recorded his wartime adventures in his
autobiography, Guilt-edged (1975).
