The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Lieutenant Simon Robert Moorsom Frazer (SN: 271899), British Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving with the 1st Troops, B Squadron, 15th/19th Hussars, Divisional Troops, 11th Armoured Division, British Army, in action against enemy forces near Luneberg, Germany, on 17 April 1945. When the leading tank of his unit met heavy enemy fire at the entrance to a woods during the vital drive on Luneberg, Lieutenant Frazer immediately put his own tank in the lead, stood up in the top of his vehicle and proceeded straight ahead, firing his Sten Gun at enemy bazooka patrols he located. The remainder of his troop followed his lead and successfully forced its way through to its objective. Almost entirely owing to Lieutenant Frazer’s unflinching determination, refusal to be stopped and heroic leadership, the advance of the regiment continued unchecked.
