A DOSSIER OF LETTERS FROM DEMPSEY THANKING HIS SUBORDINATE OFFICERS ON THEIR SUCCESSES,
contained within a card dossier with Dempsey's writing in crayon to cover, containing twelve letters thanking his officers, and those passing from his command, for their efforts including this to Brig. Mills-Roberts of 1 Commando following their crossing of the Rhine, "Now that the battle of the Rhine has been won, I am writing to give you and 1 Cde Bde my heartiest congratulations on your great achievement. Your task in the operation was of the greatest importance - the capture of Wesel. The town had to be taken early so that bridges could be built over the river. I gave that task to you because I knew that you would carry it out quickly and cleanly. And so it proved. After a highly skilful crossing of the Rhine, you captured the town against strong opposition with your customary dash and skill. Please tell all ranks of your Brigade how much I admire their splendid performance, and how grateful I am."
