During all the operations Feb.-April 1943, this officer performed admirably the duties of officer command-detachment Burma Rifles with No. 8 Column. He showed real energy and resource in all the activities in which he engaged, whether foraging or in the collection of intelligence, which was always of a high standard of accuracy. He also undertook many other duties within the column, and enjoyed the confidence of his Column Commander to a high degree. His courage under fire and his sterling commonsense at all times made him a most valuable officer. |
