Recommendation
Operation Blackcock Sicily 16th August 1943.
Pte. Myram is serving as a Private in this Commando, No. 3 troop, to which he is attached. He holds the rank of Sgt in the Independent Company of Gibraltar garrison. This man backed up Sgt. White, his section sergeant, admirably during the street fighting in Scaletta village on the morning of 16th Aug 1943. He showed much enterprise and dash in seeking out and killing the German enemy who were holding buildings in the village, giving no thought to his own safety. Furthermore at all times during the 48 hour operation he showed unbounded energy and enthusiasm and willingness to do all manner of extra duties. He was a fine example to the rest of the rank and file and has been outstanding ever since he was attached to us. [Lt. Col. J.M.T.F. Churchill.]
