London Gazette: 22nd March 1945. The following citation has been slightly condensed from the original recommendation, a full transcription of which accompanies the lot: 'During the operation from 10th to 22nd December 1944 to cross the Kaladan River and then eject the enemy from the strong Thayettabin-Kyauktaw defence position, this officer showed outstanding determination, energy and leadership. Speed was essential to forestall an opposed crossing... Brigadier Crook reached Orama village, where the crossing was to be effected, with his troops on 4th December 1944. That afternoon a strong party of the enemy probed his starting base and occupied a position covering the beach. Such an event would have daunted many commanders, and caused hesitation and delay. Realising however the vital necessity of crossing quickly, Brigadier Crook counter-attacked and threw back the enemy elements... Next... he decided to cross by night. He was down on the beaches himself all through the night and successfully saw the first flights over. These flights effected a landing and found the enemy at dawn a few hundred yards inland, thus proving that any lack of speed or hesitancy would have been fatal and resulted in many casualties.
