M.M. London Gazette 9.3.1944. Recommendation states 'On the night 13-14 October 1943 Sergeant Lambert took part in a highly successful Company raid on Morrone which was in German hands. In bright moonlight his Platoon came under heavy machine-gun fire on open ground at about 150 yards range, his Platoon Commander and one Section becoming pinned in a very dangerous position. Sergeant Lambert instantly took command and having organised covering fire, himself went forward with a Bren gun over the open, bullet swept ground and by his own efforts extricated the remainder of the Platoon. On hearing that Corporal Hartley had been left behind wounded, he immediately doubled across the open field, which by this time was under fire from two directions. Without waiting for any covering fire and with entire disregard for his own safety, he reached the wounded man and evacuated him. Throughout the operation Sergeant Lambert's actions were outstanding and largely contributed to the success of the operations'.
