  Ruth Davidson: Born: 25 Feb Gnr. Schauer of the 78th Battery showed particular Courage while in the OP (Observation Post) at Putot-en Bessin as a signaller. The OP was established in a slit trench on an exposed flank of the Company Area with the tank parked about 50 yards to the rear. The Company position came under heavy mortar and artillery fire during which time the enemy attacked and succeeded in infiltrating in and around the position. As the OP was in as exposed position, the enemy subjected it to heavy machine gun fire. Gnr. Schauer saw the predicament and on his own initiative climbed up on the tank and into the turret. With the help of Gnr's Braham and Toy brought down direct fire with the 75mm gun of the tank onto the enemy, succeeding in completely neutralizing the enemy fire from this sector. He then provided furthur covering fire for the OP Officer, who was able to direct artillery fire on other enemy troops. For this action Gnr. Elmer Schauer was awarded the Croix-de-Guerre June 8, 1944
