have a diary he wrote in 1940 which details his daily life until end of October
of that year. He got out of Dunkirk on a destroyer on June 1st. The entry for
that day reads 'Never got to bed at all. Dunkirk was a shambles. I tried to
find the East Mole but failed. Eventually got to beach. After a nightmare hour
or so got on a destroyer. Landed at Dover at 10am. Got a train to Lord knows
where. Fetched up at Manorbier at 1.30am. What a day!'"

* 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. McCreery, commanding 8th Army, and finally 27.05.1945 by Field
Marshal Sir Harold R.L.G. Alexander, commanding Allied Force HQ.] |

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. [Recommended
by Brigadier J.M.Calvert DSO]
