The original Recommendation states: ‘Battery Sergeant-Major Wilfred Cartwright landed in France on 9 July 1944 with 112 Battery 6 Canadian Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment. Throughout the intense period of fighting around Caen and again during the bombing at St Aignon de Cremesnil when his Battery Headquarters suffered casualties in both personnel and vehicles this Warrant Officer worked without rest for 72 hours evacuating the wounded and obtaining replacements of vehicles and stores lost in the bombing. His remarkable steadfastness under fire was to a great extent responsible for keeping the Battery in action during this vital period. From 15 October to 14 November 1944 112 Battery was engaged in experimental training and active operations with rocket projector equipments. Displaying unusual ability to quickly grasp the mechanical details of the rocket projectors BSM Cartwright performed outstanding work in completing modifications to vehicles and equipments in exceedingly short time. On all occasions whether carrying out normal duties or bringing forward ammunition and supplies under fire to the detachments of the Battery or when confronted with a task not normally his responsibility BSM Cartwright has invariably displayed ability above that which would normally be expected of a Battery Sergeant-Major and has repeatedly won the admiration and respect of all ranks in his Battery.’ Sold with copied recommendation.
