CITATION:
Distinguished Service Cross : For coolness, courage and efficiency as Beachmaster in a sector of the beach in the raid on Dieppe hi August, 1942. As the advance of the troops was held up his sector was throughout the operation under continuous fire. When four out of the only five landing craft loaded for the withdrawal were sunk, Lieutenant Bibby's conduct in getting the troops back to shore under heavy fire was outstanding.
