Awards

Distinguished Service Order (DSO), 27 september 1945

Distinguished-Service Cross

27 september 1945

By direction of the President, under the provisions of AR 600-45, 22 september 1943, as amended, the Distinguished-Service Cross is awarded to:
Major Christopher E. Hill, British Army, for extraordinary heroism in action. In command of a company of the 6th Battalion of The Royal Welch Fusilier during the night attack on the village of Hintham, Major Hill displayed he utmost galantry and disregard for danger in directing the repulse of strong enemy counter-attacks. On another occasion, when the advance of the leading units was slowed, Major Hill personally crossed exposed ground subjected to heavy enemy shelling in order to contact supporting tank elements and to gain support for the continuance of the attack. His repeat demonstrations of courage served as an example of great value to all ranks and were in accordance with the finest of military traditions.
