Citation for the award of his Military Medal:
22nd January 1944 Crossing of the Garigliano.
During the patrol to the Rotondo the party was held up by an enemy machine gun post. CSM Malcolm made his way forward under heavy small arms fire from the enemy and reached a flank of the position. He threw grenades into the emplacement killing two of the occupants and wounding one. Due to this action the machine gun post was silenced and the main body was able to advance without loss through casualties. CSM Malcolm showed extreme courage and coolness and was an inspiration to the men under his command (L.G.18.4.44)

In Memory of Company Serjeant Major GEORGE MALCOLM MM
PLY/X 639, No. 40 R.M. Commando., Royal Marines

In a letter home written by L/Cpl. Roy Montague Smith also of 43RM Commando he writes about the death of his friend George Taylor, " George Taylor, one of the three of us is finished, heard tonight that he was to have had the MM but he was killed so guess he will only be in despatches at least thats what it looks like to me. Ginger and myself ok so far ????? had some very narrow squeeks guess you understand Tony, gosh hope we come through ok. George did some very good work Tony, a fine chap, I'd had him with me since Ramsgate. Must close now keep things going Mum and Tony, Yours Roy" Sadly Roy was also later killed in action.
