On 8 Jun 44 in a counter attack on buildings occupied by the enemy this officer so successfully led his coy that the buildings that were strongly held were captured, and heavy casualties inflicted on the enemy.  The enemy immediately counter attacked with very superior forces and Capt GRIFFIN by exceptional coolness and courage successfully retired his coy to a defensive post and held on grimly. under heavy sniping and mortaring.  In neither of these actions was this coy supported by Bn supporting arms.
