ARMY BACKMAN, George Harold, Sergeant (A.20123) - Mention in Despatches - Corps of Military Staff Clerks - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 9 March 1946 and CARO/6431 dated 8 March 1946. BADGER, Harry Haultain, Lieutenant - Military Cross - Infantry (Royal Winnipeg Rifles) - awarded as per Canada Gazette and CARO/5718, both dated 26 May 1945. Originated as recommended for an immediate award on 3 March 1945; approved by Headquarters, 7 Canadian Infantry Brigade on 5 March 1945 and passed forward on 6 March 1945; approved by Headquarters, 3 Canadian Infantry Division on 11 March 1945 and passed forward on 23 March 1945; approved by Headquarters, 2 Canadian Corps on 25 March 1945 and passed forward on 5 April 1945; approved by Headquarters, First Canadian Army on 6 April 1945 and passed for action on 10 April 1945. On the 16 February 1945, Lieutenant Harry Haultain Badger was commanding Number 9 Platoon [Royal Winnipeg Rifles] which led "A" Company's assault on the fortified village of Louisendorf, Germany. The attack was made in Kangaroos, troop carrying tanks, and in the advance two of the tanks were knocked out leaving only the Platoon Commander and ten men to make the attack. About 50 yards from the objective Lieutenant Badger and his men dismounted under extremely heavy shell fire as well as machine gun fire from a group of buildings nearby. Undeterred the Platoon Commander quickly rallied his men and pressed home his attack with such vigour that the enemy's resistance collapsed. They were then fired on by the enemy in a blockhouse to the right. Realizing that, with his small party, he could not hope to clear the blockhouse, he dashed out of the building across a field that was being swept by machine gun fire to a troop of tanks that were supporting the company attack and obtained one from the troop commander to support his attack. Gathering up his men on the return trip the small party rushed the blockhouse with such zeal that the enemy, 50 in all, surrendered. With such daring was this attack carried out that the group suffered only two casualties. By his courage, determination, offensive spirit and coolness under fire Lieutenant Badger was able to demoralize the enemy, break into the defences and seize his objective. BADRY, Melvin Lawrence, Gunner (M.28692) - Mention in Despatches - RCA - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 9 March 1946 and CARO/6431 dated 8 March 1946. BAERMAN, Charles Alexander, Lieutenant-Colonel - Distinguished Service Order - Armour (7th Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment [17th Duke of York's Royal Canadian Hussars]) - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 10 November 1945 and CARO/6193 dated 12 November 1945. Lieutenant-Colonel Baerman has commanded 7 Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment from October 1944 through the Schelde, Operation VERITABLE, the breakout to the Rhine, and the present advance through Holland into northern Germany. During the advance through Germany and Holland in April 1945, the reconnaissance squadrons under his command were deployed between Emmerich and the Hoch Elton in front of the leading infantry brigade. The German opposition - artillery, machine-gun and small arms fire - was heavy and every bridge was blown along the axis of advance. This officer personally set such an example to the three squadrons of his regiment of extreme aggressiveness, of coolness under fire, of initiative of getting around obstacles and of improvising bridges and by-passes, that the whole regiment accomplished more than its directed objectives and enabled the infantry to continue its fast advance. On 10 April 1945, north of Bathmen in Holland, "C" Squadron was help up by heavy anti-tank and mortar fire. The squadron leader and the second-in-command were both wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Baerman, from his Tactical Headquarters forward of Brigade Headquarters, took over the squadron, personally led it in by-passing the enemy strong point, took the strong point from the rear, wiped out the enemy with heavy casualties, and then resumed his overall command. The leadership and courage displayed by Lieutenant-Colonel Baerman throughout this series of actions have been outstanding. BAGG, Douglas Gordon, Lieutenant - Military Cross - Infantry (The Royal Canadian Regiment) - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 18 March 1944 and CARO/4296 dated 1 April 1944, "in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Italy". Recommended for immediate award by Lieutenant-Colonel D.C. Spry, Commanding Officer, Royal Canadian Regiment; approved by Brigadier H.D. Graham on 12 November 1944 and passed forward on 2 December 1943; approved by Major-General C. Vokes, General Officer Commanding, 1 Canadian Division on 3 December 1943 and passed forward on 15 December 1943; approved by Lieutenant-General M. Winfrey, Commander, 13 Corps on 17 December 1943 and passed forward on 21 December 1943; approved by General B.L. Montgomery, General Officer Commanding, Eighth Army on 24 December 1943 and passed forward on 27 December 1943. Approved by General H.R. Alexander, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, 15 Army Group on 29 December 1943 and sent for action on 14 March 1944. Prior to the attack by "B" Company, The Royal Canadian Regiment on Busso, Italy, 16 October 1943, Lieutenant Douglas Gordon Bagg commanded a reconnaissance patrol consisting of himself and two other ranks, detailed to discover the strength and disposition of enemy outposts. The patrol was observed by the enemy who subjected it to machine gun and rifle fire. With coolness and determination Lieutenant Bagg, realizing the vital importance of the information he had been detailed to secure, led his patrol forward until he had located the strong enemy position in a farm house on a sixty foot hill. He engaged the post but finding it held in strength, disengaged and returned to report the enemy locations to his Commanding Officer. The resourcefulness and skill of Lieutenant Bagg in securing this important information made possible the subsequent successful attack of "B" Company. BAGLEY, Charles Ernest, Warrant Officer Class I (Sergeant-Major) (F.77037) - Member, Order of the British Empire - Corps of Military Staff Clerks (Headquarters, First Canadian Army) - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 17 March 1945 and CARO/5466 dated 19 March 1945. This Warrant Officer over the period from 1 January 1944 to the present has displayed a knowledge of military affairs, organizing ability and leadership and a capacity for sustained effort far beyond the ordinary. His personal knowledge of the detailed organization of the Canadian Army has on countless occasions proved invaluable. His organizing ability has resulted in the formation of a sound and smooth running section and his leadership has made for a happy group. His example in applying himself to tasks in hand for long periods, often under adverse conditions, has resulted in achievements of an unusually high order. Debarred by age and category from the field, where he would be equally outstanding and by age from commissioned rank where he would be eminently acceptable, this Warrant Officer is an exemplary soldier whose services are outstanding.

BAILEY, Anthony John Beswick, Major - Member, Order of the British Empire - RCA - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 1 January 1944 and CARO/3973 dated 8 January 1944. As a Captain in the 13 Canadian Field Regiment upon proceeding overseas he had more to do with the training of that regiment than any other officer. Upon completing the Canadian War Staff Course he became Brigade Major Royal Canadian Artillery 2 Canadian Division and was recommended for accelerated promotion by the Commander Royal Canadian Artillery. It was during his tour as Brigade Major that 2 Canadian Division Artillery made the greatest progress towards its present efficiency. As General Staff Officer Grade II, Royal Canadian Artillery at Headquarters First Canadian Army he was obliged to carry out the duties of the General Staff Officer Grade I for long periods when Lieutenant-Colonel Zeigler was absent on duty. This he did with great success. During his entire tour as General Staff Officer Grade II he carried out the duties not only of General Staff Officer Grade II Field Artillery but also of General Staff Officer Grade II Anti-Aircraft which work is now done by two officers. BAILEY, Anthony John Beswick, Lieutenant-Colonel, MBE - Distinguished Service Order - RCA - awarded as per Canada Gazette dated 10 November 1945 and CARO/6193 dated 12 November 1945. Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey has commanded 3 Canadian Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, since 8 December 1944 with great distinction. As Commanding Officer he was employed at Headquarters 2 Canadian Infantry Brigade as Commander Royal Canadian Artillery's representative throughout the crossing of the Montone and Lamone Rivers, the advance to and the holding of the Senio River Line, the crossing of the Ijssel River, and the subsequent advance through eastern Holland to western Holland. While in Italy, he carried out his duties of supervising and controlling artillery fire support in an extremely skilful and efficient manner, and was thus materially responsible for successes gained by the brigade during this period. At the crossing of the Ijssel River in Holland on 11 April 1945, Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey was responsible for the planning and coordination of the massed artillery fire support for 2 Canadian Infantry Brigade which made the initial crossing. Subsequently throughout numerous brigade and battalion operations during the rapid advance past Apeldoorn, he displayed great ability in initiating, coordinating and directing artillery support for the brigade. The skilful and capable handling of this support greatly contributed to the success of the brigade throughout the entire operation. When on 17 April 1945 the brigade entered into the pursuit phase, movement became extremely rapid, although stiff opposition was en countered from isolated groups. Despite the rapid and continuous tactical changes, Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey so ably directed and controlled the movement of his guns that at no time was the brigade lacking in fire support. Throughout these operations it was frequently necessary for Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey to go forward into areas under heavy and accurate shell and mortar fire in order to obtain details of artillery fire support required. Regardless of danger to himself he went wherever he though necessary, in order that he might produce the best possible fire support for the brigade. Such support always came down where it was required at the time specified, skilfully and carefully coordinated, and was effective. Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey's calm composure under fire, his initiative and tireless energy, and his great personal courage gained him the confidence and admiration of not only the troops of his own regiment, but also the personnel of 2 Canadian Infantry Brigade. He has been a real factor in the attainment of the objectives of the brigade during the period he supported it. BAILEY, Anthony John Beswick, Major, MBE - Mention in Despatches - RCA - awarded as per Canada Gazette and CARO/5718, both dated 26 May 1945.
