Award Mentioned in Despatches Mr. Alexander Clifford, No. 2 Public Relations Service British War Correspondent

This Correspondent has been associated with every battle from El Alamein to Tunis, was with the landing parties of American Forces in the invasion of Sicily, accompanied them throughout that campaign and subsequently covered the activities of both the Fifth and Eight Armies in Italy up to the middle of January 1944.
Mr. Clifford has rendered signal service, particularly during his attachment to the American troops where he was held in the highest estimation and in his position was able to give to the British public worthy tributes of the magnificent fighting qualities of the troops of the Seventh American Army. In addition to the value of the publicity thus produced, his abilities as a linguist were of great value to the members of the General Staff on many occasions, In the landings in Italy he was again in the forefront and has at all times shown a complete disregard of danger and a desire to pay the highest testimony to the valour of our troops.
