Lance Bombardier Thomas Mulcahy was awarded the Military Medal for his gallantry during Operation Healing 2 [1][2].

Spilje Bay, Albania,  July 28/29 1944.
"This NCO showed great courage and leadership throughout the action. In the early stages when his Section Sergeant was missing and his Corporal wounded, Mulcahy immediately took charge. He led his men into the assault showing complete disregard for his personal safety and carried the assault through to destroy two MG posts and several weapon pits.

Then when his section were pinned down, he carried out a reconnaissance under fire which enabled him to outflank these posts.

In the final stages, his section was driven back in an attack on a strong point, but although wounded he rallied his men, and led a second attack in which he became more seriously wounded. Whilst lying on the ground, he encouraged his men and insisted on being the last to be evacuated.

Throughout the action, he displayed great gallantry, determination and devotion to duty which, without question, materially contributed to the success of each assault. This NCO has repeatedly been outstanding in action and was recommended at Salerno." [2].
