    WILCOX, G.
    Sgt
    2613675
    This Tp Sgt was acting as Tp Leader during the whole of the battle for LA JOUBERIE WOOD.

    Throughout the whole of the day of 11 Aug 44, his Tp were engaged in very fierce fighting. Under the most difficult circumstances, he maintained complete control of his Tp. Although he was under constant shell-fire and very heavy small arms fire, he frequently exposed himself, regardless of all danger, and stood up on the back of his tank or walked forward to a nearby bank in order to observe better the movements of the enemy in the very thick country which lay immediately on his flank. By so doing he manoeuvred his Tp, time and again, into different positions to ward off the repeated efforts of the enemy to infiltrate amongst the tanks of the remainder of his Sqn.

    His magnificent leadership and conduct throughout the whole day were of the highest order.
