1 Green Howards Military Cross Citation for Major A.R.M. Tanner
Major Tanner commanded the left forward Company in the attack and capture of Tremensuoli (769957) on 20 Jan 44. Throughout this action he showed exceptionally high standards of leadership in directing and controlling his Company, cleaning up opposition and ensuring the immediate mopping up and consolidation of the objective.
During the whole operation the village was under heavy enemy artillery and machine gun fire and his Company was in close contact with the enemy on the lower slopes. Major Tanner moved continuously from Platoon to Platoon directing operations wherever the enemy fire was heaviest, and by his coolness and untiring energy set a magnificent example, which was an inspiration to his men
