ROLL OF HONOUR:
https://www.specialforcesroh.com/index.php?threads/ephraums-michael-jarvis.1718/CITATION:
Military Cross : PACHINO PENINSULA 10 JULY 43
As "A" Troop Commander for the initial assault on the PACHINO peninsula, Captain Ephraums led his troop with courage and skill through very difficult enclosed county, from which heavy enemy fire was being brought to bear on the beaches.
His resourceful leadership was responsible for the seeking out and getting to grips with the enemy, which resulted in their speedier extermination; thus enabling the follow-up troops to get ashore with very few casualties.
His bold and resolute leadership and disregard for personal safety was an inspiration to all.
In my opinion, this Officer is strongly recommended.
