Earlier in WW2 Harcourt had commanded the 10th and 12th Cruiser Squadrons during the landings at North Africa and the capture of Tunisia, for which he was awarded the U.S. Legion of Merit, as well as the bombardment and capture of Pantellaria and Lampedusa, and at the Salerno landings, for which he received a mention in despatches, comprising: Orders and Decorations: The Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Military Division, Knight Commander’s (K.C.B.) set of insignia by Garrard & Co., comprising neck badge, in silver-gilt and enamels with gold centre, and breast star, in silver and enamels with gold centre, in original fitted case of issue; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Military Division, Grand Cross (G.B.E.) set of insignia, second type, by Garrard & Co., comprising: sash badge in silver-gilt and enamels, and breast star in silver-gilt and enamels, with two original sashes, in original case of issue; China, The Order of the Cloud and Banner, Second Class (gazetted as ‘Special Grand Cordon’ ) set of insignia, comprising sash badge in silver and enamels, and breast star in silver and enamels, in original silk-lined lacquered case of issue, somewhat damaged, with original sash and riband bar; Court-Mounted Medal Group: British War and Victory Medals (Lieut.

The Important Second World War Orders, Decorations and Medals awarded to Major-General Sir Kenneth William Dobson Strong, Royal Scots Fusiliers, who started his army intelligence career shortly after the Great War during ‘The Troubles’ in Ireland. He served as Military Attaché to Berlin in the years before the outbreak of WW2 during which time he came to meet many of the senior figures and leaders of Nazi Germany and understood ‘the German military mind’. Consequently, Strong found himself at the very centre of strategic military intelligence throughout the war as Eisenhower’s Head of Intelligence at Supreme Allied Force Headquarters (S.H.A.E.F.) and as his trusted friend and advisor. A trained interpreter, a shrewd judge of character and a very capable leader of men, he played a major part in negotiating the armistice and surrender of Italian Forces on 3 September 1943, during the negotiations for the surrender of German forces occupying the Netherlands on 4-5 May 1945, and then during the final, unconditional German surrender on 7 May in Berlin, where he was immediately at hand to negotiate terms and to translate.
