As above But also Signed by sapper R A C Awcock Corps of Royal Engineers. Awarded the Military Medal at Anzio. In the Anzio Beach head during the advance to the Campoleone feature, a detachment of No 2 platoon of a field Company, R E was in support of a troop of a Battalion, Royal Tank Regiment. A minefield was reported and the tanks were completely held up. The RE Detachment went forward and commenced to detect and clear the mines under enemy small arms and shell fire, five of the sappers being wounded. In spite of this heavy opposition Sapper Awcock, with complete disregard for his own personal safety while being sniped and shelled assisted in the clearing of a gap in the minefield. During the whole time he was at work he was in full view of the enemy and it was by his devotion to duty courage and cool example that the work was completed and the tanks able to advance.
