Lieutenant-Commander Colin Henry Campbell, D.S.C., Royal Navy , Recommendation – ‘On the night of 12th-13th October, Wolsey’s convoy FN31 was attacked by E Boats north-east of Hammond Knoll. Wolsey immediately sighted three E.Boats and attacked them inflicting severe damage and driving them off. In the course of the engagement one E-Boat was probably sunk by Wolsey’s gunfire and a second damaged. On the night of 19th and 20th November Wolsey’s convoy FS50 was attacked by E-boats east of Winterton Ridge. Wolsey immediately at tacked three E-Boats sighted and drove them off: in the course of the engagement one E-Boat was seen to be heavily hit by 4′ H.E. and probably blew up.’ Remarks of Commander in Chief – ‘The repelling of E-boat attacks depends mainly on the Commanding Officer who has to make up his mind in a matter of seconds. He has to take into account many factors, including steering a safe course for interception in these narrow waters and getting his guns to bear which call for excellent judgement. Results, which are the acid test, showed Lieutenant Commander C.H. Campbell’s judgement to be sound on these occasions and I consider him deserving of a Decoration.’ In both these engagements Lieut. Comdr. Campbell showed skill and determination and manoeuvred his ship to the best advantage in his endeavour to destroy the enemy.ention in Despatches, London Gazette 27th January 1942 – For good services and devotion to duty.
