This was 853 Squadron’s first real strike and verdict is due to Lt Cdr Glaser that it was so successful”Recommendation for the MID 7th May 1944 HMS Fencer. “As Air Staff Officer he was unfailing in his devotion to duty and unsparing of himself during the operations involved in the passage of a recent North Russia Convoy and it’s attack by a U-boat pack. At one time for 72 hours he was continuously briefing the crews of aircraft and controlling the operations of those aircraft, when airborne, from the Air Operations Room, during which time he had no sleep or rest. Owing to the position of the bridge and its poor communication, I had to rely on him completely, giving him only the broadest outline upon which to base his decisions. At no time had I any worry as to the aircraft being used but to their best ability. In addition he is the Ship’s signal Officer. He is of outstanding ability for one of his age and seniority, is well able to accept responsibility and in possesses of sound powers of judgement.”This sword and DSC medal group sold Bosleys 3rd July 2013
