"Savage" ADM 1/11888 (2)

P.T.O. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES FOR WHICH OFFICER OR MAN IS RECOMMENDED.

Able Seaman Savage showed conspicuous [gallantry and] skill and devotion to duty as gun layer of the pom pom in M.G. 314 during the St. Nazaire Raid. Completely exposed and under heavy fire from time to time, he engaged positions ashore with great accuracy. He also replied with vigorous and accurate fire against ships which attacked us on the way out. It is regretted that Savage was killed at his gun, but he is submitted that his high standard of devotion to duty should be recognised.

R.E.D Ryder Commander R.N. 10th A/S Striking Force.
