EVERLEIGH, Cecil James, Corporal (Temporary Sergeant) (2/400234),
3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, 1951

On 5 October 1951, during the attack on Hill 317, Temporary Sergeant Everleigh was platoon sergeant of 3 Platoon, A Company. The platoon was tasked with securing feature 184211 which was heavily bunkered and held by an unknown number of enemy soldiers. The approach was also under fire from high ground to the north-west and the area had been under mortar and shell fire. Sergeant Everleigh's conduct was inspiring both prior to the platoon assault and during the attack involving the left leading section. On reaching the line of bunkers, the Chinese hurriedly pulled back. Sergeant Everleigh carried the attack through the objective with great vigour. While the section was flushing the bunkers, Sergeant Everleigh went on alone and dispersed the enemy on the reverse slope showing complete disregard for his own safety. This action prevented any immediate counter-attack by the enemy at a critical stage. Throughout the operation, Sergeant Everleigh displayed outstanding leadership and personal courage and instilled confidence and aggressiveness in the men of his platoon.
