(77787), Royal Air Force.The Recommendation states: 'For the past two years Wing Commander Hallows has been responsible for planning the war organistation of the R.A.F. It has been his duty to convert operational plans into practical administrative possibilities. This has meant an enormous amount of troublesome, detailed work which, in a continuously changing situation, has been complicated and full of frustrations and disappointments. Nevertheless despite innumerable setbacks Wing Commander Hallows has preserved throughout an unshakable spirit and unbounded energy. The smooth and efficient manner in which large U.S.A.F. reinforcements were received into this country during the recent international crisis was very largely due to the careful, painstaking and thorough preliminary work which had been done by Wing Commander Hallows and the officers under him. Much of this was far beyond the duties normally expected of an officer of his rank and appointment and required considerable initiative. His exceptional efforts are deserving of recognition.'D.F.C. London Gazette 28.4.1942 Flight Lieutenant Brian Roger Wakefield Hallows (77787), Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 97 Squadron'On the 17th April, 1942, a force of twelve Lancaster heavy bombers was detailed to deliver an attack in daylight on the diesel engine factory at Augsburg in Southern Germany.

London Gazette 20.9.1945 Captain (temporary) Bernard Walter Briggs (129061), The Royal Warwickshire Regiment'In recognition of gallant and distinguished services at Arnhem.'The Recommendation states: 'Early on the night of D Day (Sep 17) Capt Briggs was given command of a mixed force of Bde HQ, Signals, RE and Ordnance personnel, and ordered to hold an important sector East of Arnhem Bridge. The position was difficult to hold as fruit trees and shrubs gave the enemy a covered line of approach.During the following two days the enemy repeatedly attacked this position with tanks and infantry in greatly superior numbers. They were driven back each time with heavy losses. The position was under continuous mortar fire. During the afternoon of D + 2 and morning of D + 3 the situation was made more difficult by the enemy setting fire to the houses Capt Briggs' party was occupying. In spite of this and resulting enemy infiltration he continued to hold the position until every house was burnt down.He then skilfully withdrew the remnants of his force to "A" Coy's position and continued to fight with them.Capt Briggs skilful and inspiring leadership was an example to all and it was undoubtedly largely due to his efforts that the most important and difficult position was held for so long.'M.I.D.
