19 Mar 1942 AWMM
'On 24 November 1941 during the action on the escarpment south of the TOBRUK-BARDIA Road, Libya, this non-commissioned officer was accompanying his Company Commander through fairly heavy rifle and mortar fire when the Company Commander was wounded. Warrant Officer Booker dragged him to a place of comparative safety and then, proceeding to Company Headquarters, organised the personnel so as to meet any attack. During the whole of this time the area was being swept by enemy fire but he showed no hesitation and his coolness and courage in the face of fire was outstanding.'. (Source: The National Archives.
