| Citation: | Italy. From London SE5. RSM 112 Pro Coy. MBE citation: During the Italian Campaign from CASSINO to the PO VALLEY, this WO has been an inspiration to the remainder of the Company. On one occasion he came on the scene of a burning lorry, which was endangering all the vehicles stopped in the vicinity. Without thought for his own safety, he jumped into the lorry and drove it off the road out of danger of the other vehicles. Although necessitating long hours of duty, his work in connection with the control of traffic on the mountain roads has been an example of his powers of organisation within the unit. His quick grasp of the difficult problems enabled him to deal immediately with many situations produced by the severe winter weather. The personal example shown by RSM WRIGHT has been an inspiration to all ranks of the Corps Provost Company. Lt-Col APM 13 Corps. Lt-Gen Commander 13 Corps. |
