B.E.M. London Gazette 21 June 1945.

Robert George Nesbitt, from Groomsfort, Co. Down. Recommendation reads:

‘During all operations, this N.C.O. has proved himself to be an energetic and tireless worker under difficult conditions. It was partly due to his untiring efforts and organising ability that a quick turn round of vehicle loading and off-loading has been maintained. Corporal Nesbitt joined this unit in the M.E. 2 years ago and at all times has proved a tireless worker, his efforts during peak periods being particularly noticeable.’
