The citation reads:
“This Intelligence Officer is the greatest expert on the Italian Army in North Africa. His industry and brilliant interrogations have repeatedly provided information of essential value. He has been on the Staff of Eighth Army since the Siege of Tobruk and his work has been most fruitful and extremely painstaking, often in conditions where concentration has been most difficult. In spite of his long period in the Desert he has consistently maintained a high standard.”
