Gazette 18th February 1918 "T. 2nd Lieut. BORGER,
ALEXANDER HENRY CHARLES. 'F' Battn. Awarded
M.C.. During tank operations on November 20 1917,
and subsequent days, this officer carried out his duties as
reconnaissance officer in a most gallant and devoted
manner. On November 20 he followed up the companies
tanks, taking messages and instructions from his
company commander to his own as well as other
companies' tanks, reconnoitring crossings of sunken
roads, etc., often under machine-gun fire. His coolness
and pluck contributed materially to the success of the
company in reaching all objectives. On the 21st he again
went into action with the tanks to Marcoing and on the
27th went with his company C.O. close behind the attack
at Bourlon village. The previous night he had guided
twenty tanks to their assembly point unaided, as all
company section commanders had to remain behind to
get orders from the Infantry Brigades during the
approach march. He was out from 4pm 26th until 10pm
27th and carried on throughout with great coolness and
courage though under heavy shell fire during the night
and day. He was either in action or on reconnaissance
work every day and most nights from 19th to 27th.
Nothing but pluck and endurance could have carried
him through the prolonged period. Tank Corps groups
are scarce on the market. M.C. L/Gaz 18.2.18. GVF or
