On 14th December 1943 during the attack on Casa Berardi, Italy, when all the other officers and half the men of his company had been killed or wounded, Captain Triquet dashed forward and, with the remaining men, broke through the enemy resistance. He then forced his way on with his small force – now reduced to two sergeants and 15 men – into a position on the outskirts of Casa Beradi. They held out against attacks from overwhelming numbers until the remainder of the battalion relieved them next day. Throughout the action Captain Triquet's utter disregard for danger and his cheerful encouragement were an inspiration to his men.
A soldier who was “mentioned in despatches” was someone who had been named in a written report by a superior officer, and the report sent to high command. The report described the soldier's meritorious action in the face of the enemy. A soldier who was “mentioned in despatches” may not have necessarily received a medal for their action, but was entitled to receive a certificate and wear a decoration. Prior to 1979, a “mention of despatches” was one of a few awards that could be awarded posthumously. Soldiers could be mentioned in despatches multiple times, so there may be multiple entries for the same soldier within this database.Notices of awarded medals included longer citations for very high awards such as the George Cross or Victoria Cross. Most other notices consisted only of a listing without any citation or explanation about why the award was given.
