    Major (temporary Lieutenant-Colonel) W.B. Shine, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
    Lieutenant-Colonel Shine has established an excellent base ammunition depot which has handled all the ammunition into and out of the port of Algiers. His unit is extremely efficient, and well run. This is largely due to the enthusiasm and devotion to duty of this officer.

    Lieutenant-Colonel Shine was born in Limerick.
