Order of St Anne of Russia awarded to Captain Alec Noel Hawkes Whitcombe, Royal Field Artillery, WW1 ref citation for Military Cross "This Officer during the operations against POCHA on June 1st and 2nd 1919, was continuously at the forward observation post from which, an exposed position, he directed the fire of all the artillery. He was on duty throughout the operations and was personally responsible for the accuracy and effect of the gunfire. This Officer's work throughout has been of the highest character and his keenness and energy has brought the artillery of the PINEGA FORCE to a high state of efficiency." "E Ironside, Major General Commanding-in-Chief, Allied Forces, ARCHANGEL" BACKGROUND New Zealand-born Captain Alec Noel Hawkes Whitcombe, MC, served with the Royal Field Artillery during WW1.
