Action for which recommended -

On March 26, 54 Coln were attacking THETKEGYIN all day from the North. Major WHITE, commanding the Rifle Sqn, on two separate occasions led attacks right up to the enemy's foxhole positions under intense fire. His dash and leadership and complete disregard of danger caused these positions to be taken. Major WHITE had the use of only one arm, the other being broken and in plaster from a recent accident.
