AN ORIGINAL SIGNAL FROM DEMPSEY TO SIR ARTHUR HARRIS, C.-in-C. BOMBER COMMAND,
probably sent after the final battle for Caen, it reads, "First day's evacuation of British ex-prisoners by your command most successful. Very many thanks", together with a further signal to A.V.M. Sir Harry Broadhurst send during the Battle for Caen, "Personal for Broadhurst from Dempsey. My most sincere thanks and congratulations to you and all under your command for the magnificent results you are achieving in your air battles and the splendid cover you are giving us"
Other Notes: Broadhurst was a keen advocate of aerial support for the army, although his forthright views were not always well-received by his peers. A highly capable pilot himself, Broadhurst championed the use of the Hawker Typhoon and Tempest in a ground attack role, one the aircraft were extremely successful in.
