Together with photocopy marked "Special Routine Order dated 7 May 72"
Lance Corporal Alexander MacKay Hamilton, Scots Guards arrived in Ulster with his Battalion on 25 August 1971, as a Guardsman.
He quickly proved himself ideally suited to the stresses of patrolling in Belfast. He has displayed tremendous toughness and determination and this led to his promotion to Local Lance Corporal on 1 November.
He was appointed to command a four man permanent reconnaissance patrol operating in one of the worst areas and was entirely responsible for the operation of his own patrol which he had led with extraordinary enthusiasm and tenacity. His performance has been outstanding.
The General Officer Commanding commends Lance Corporal Hamilton for his devotion to duty and directs that an entry be made in the relevant documents in accordance with Queens Regulations for the Army paragraph 1633.(p).
Mounted as worn.
