   Royal Decree no. 29 of 31 July, 1945
   Acting Colonel (66968), Royal Army Service Corps
   The recommendation reads as follows:

This officer was Commander Royal Army Service Corps of the Division during the battle of Arnhem, 17th-25th September. The Division was resupplied from the air during this period and, owing to enemy action and the confined area in which the Division was fighting, the collection of these supplies was a very hazardous business. Colonel Packe so directed and organised the collection that, in spite of very heavy enemy fire and the extremely difficult conditions, the majority of the supplies which dropped within or near the Divisional area were brought in and distributed.
This officer was constantly under fire. His cheerful demeanour and his determination to carry out his task in spite of appalling difficulties was stirring example to those under his command.
