Gayon Gayon, Selous Scouts, in a display frameFootnote:- 'For gallantry and determination in action. During anti-terrorist operations in the North Eastern Border area, a patrol, of which Lance Corporal Gayon was a member, entered a terrorist ambush position at night and immediately came under fire. Although completely exposed to heavy terrorist fire from close range, Lance Corporal Gayon, without thought for his own safety and showing great personal gallantry, stood his ground and fought a pitched battle with the terrorists who were, after a short time, routed and forced to flee. This action ultimately accounted for five terrorists killed or captured and the recovery of numerous weapons and documents. By his personal gallantry, determination and initiative, Lance Corporal Gayon turned what could easily have been a most dangerous situation into a highly successful engagement. 102 awards of the B. C. R. were made between 1970 and 1980. Provenance DNW 4th December 1991.
