Lance Sergeant Joseph Rogers, 5 troop, was awarded the Military Medal in recognition of gallant and distinguished service during operations at Spilje Albania on 28/29 July 1944.
Recommendation
Military Medal (Immediate) Spilje Bay, Albania, Operation Healing 2. 
"L/Sgt Rogers personally led his sub section with conspicuous gallantry. In the face of heavy fire from two spandaus he continued to advance against his objective. Although wounded and in great pain he led his men on to close with the enemy and killed the machine gun teams. 
By this action, the troops on his left who had been held up, were enabled to advance again.
L/Sgt. Rogers throughout showed a complete disregard of danger, and continually refused to allow his wound to interfere with his duties until the objective had been captured, and other casualties in his section had been dealt with first."
