High praise from a man who was not easily impressed. Vallance himself was carving out a reputation as a brilliant tank commander who did not ‘kowtow’ to officers.

Vallance was one of the best. He was cool, calm and collected. He knew what he was doing. The crew said that he was a great boy to work for! He showed his true worth in battle. He used to stand up for them, ‘If I take my tank across that open ground, I’m going to lose it! There’s going to be tanks there. You’ve got to put smoke down or make sure I’m getting [support]!’ He wasn’t backwards in telling the officers what to do! A great chap!12

Trooper John Buchanan, 4 Troop, ‘A’ Squadron, 2nd F&FY
