Citation: 'On January 16th 1945 during the attack across country on Dieteren, Corporal Oliver's section were leading a platoon. At the first canal crossing after launching their Kapok Pontoon Bridge they were held up by strong enemy fire from a weapon pit on the far side of the canal. Cpl Oliver without any thought of personal safety immediately dashed across the bridge and attacked the weapon pit single handed. He killed one German and forced the other three Germans to surrender. By his outstanding example of personal bravery Cpl Oliver's platoon were able to cross the bridge without further hindrance.'
