I should be glad if you will ask the G.O.C. 15th Infantry Brigade to convey to Lt. Col. Allason D.S.O., and the Officers and men of 1st Bedfordshire Regt., my appreciation and thanks for the successful raid carried out by them last night.
The operation was skilfully planned, and carried out with a fine fighting spirit, and the damage done to the enemy and the capture of the prisoners was most commendable.
