M.M. London Gazette 21.10.1943 1470123 Sjt. G.F. Falconer Royal Artillery , the Recommendation (which was originally signed by Montgomery) states, ´On 19th July 1943 at Agira, Sgt. Falconer´s Troop came under heavy mortar fire which killed several men including the Troop Commander, seriously wounded the two senior N.C.O.´s of the Troop and destroyed one gun. Sgt. Falconer immediately took command of the Troop and despite further heavy enemy fire got the other guns into action. He personally saw to the removal of the portees from the area and his initiative and personal courage set a first class example to the men under his command. By his prompt action he undoubtedly saved further lives and equipment. He remained in charge all day and later when ordered to remove his guns he borrowed carriers and successfully carried out the operation.´
