? - 13.02.1942 5th Battalion 2nd Punjab Regiment (missing, presumed killed)
From a newspaper article: "A Missing British Indian Army Officer. MAJOR S. K. GHOSE, of the 2nd Punjab Regiment (5th Battalion), last employed as Deputy Assistant Adjutant General in the 3rd Indian Corps in Malaya (under General Sir Lewis M. Heath), embarked at Singapore at to P. M., the 13th February 1942 on board the Motor-launch Pealing and sailed for Java. About 7 o'clock in the morning of the 16th February 1942, this launch ran into a Japanese convoy at the entrance to the Banka Straits and was shelled by a Japanese cruiser and sunk. The only reported survivor- of the vessel was Lt.Col. R.H. Long, who last saw Major Ghose swimming in the sea. A search for Major S.K. GHOSE should be made in the Island of Banka and also in the S.E. coast of Sumatra, entrance to the Straits of Banks, 105 E. Long. and 2 30' Lat. south of the Equator, about 100 miles north-east of Palembong, at sea. If he drifted west from the entrance to the Banka Straits he would reach some place on the east coast of Sumatra, about 50 miles east of the mouth of the Sungei Lalang river, and 70 miles north of Palembong and 60 miles north-east of Sekayil towns; search should be made there. In case he was taken prisoner and removed, inquiries should be made for a man resembling him in Siam and the Island of Hainan also. He may have been disabled by wounds, and if still alive may be living with the native villagers and fishermen, out of touch with the Allied Government authorities, or he may have lost his memory. Major S.K. GHOSE was then (in February 1942) aged 37 years, six feet tall, of athletic medium figure and the brown Hindu complexion, using spectacles two full plates of false teeth. The photographs printed below give only a vague idea of his appearance as the first was taken in 192(9?) and the second in 1938, and he may hive grown a beard since his ship-wreck. Information about him will be received and the expenses of inquiry will be paid by Sir Jadunath Sarkar, Kt., C.I.E., P. 255 Lake Terrace, Calcutta."

He studied piano, composition, and theory at the Guildhall School of Music, London, then joined Decca Records as assistant artist manager. Assigned to the development of Decca's classical-music catalogue, he engaged and recorded several leading European orchestras. He moved to Canada in 1948 as a music producer for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Toronto. He helped to develop the CBC's major radio series and was instrumental in the formation of the CBC Opera Company in 1948, the CBC Symphony Orchestra in 1952, and the CBC Talent Festival (1959-). He produced over 40 opera broadcasts (including the North American radio premiere of Britten's Peter Grimes) and was responsible for the CBC SO's weekly concerts and the recital series 'Distinguished Artists' until 1959, when he became assistant director of music. He returned to production in 1962, assuming responsibility for 'Audio' (heard on CJBC, Toronto), 'Continental Holiday' and 'Anthology'. Gibbs' talents, vivid imagination, and boundless enthusiasm found fertile soil in the CBC's increased activities on behalf of cultural development in the postwar years. He was instrumental, particularly, in introducing radio audiences to new works of English and Canadian composers.

* Mr. Grimwood was with his wife on his lonely farm in the South Kinangop area of Naivasha when it was attacked by Mau Mau gangsters. The African quarters were set on fire and soon afterwards the gang, estimated to be 50 strong, attacked the farmhouse. They used automatic weapons, rifles and hand grenades, and they were well commanded and controlled by bugle and whistle calls. One hand grenade was thrown in to the kitchen and others were thrown on to the roof, while windows and doors were broken. Mr. Grimwood remained cool and prepared to defend his farm. Armed with a .300 rifle, he moved from window to window firing at the attackers. He killed two terrorists and probably wounded others and kept the gang at bay until a relief party arrived. As the gang retreated Grimwood attacked and succeeded in killing a third man. By his courageous, calm and intelligent actions he saved the occupants of the farm, and the Africans in his labour lines, from being brutally murdered.

His grandson writes: "My Grandfather, Robert Groves mustered out in 1947 as a Lt.Col. and deputy quartermaster of the BIA. He was granted the mayoralty of Camberley, Surrey, where I was conceived. His three sons all joined up in 1940 in Delhi, one in the air force and the two others in the army. My dad had Japanese as a language and was made a Lt. in the allied intelligence branch and served in Burma, Malaysia and in Indo-China. His immediately older brother became an infantry officer. His oldest brother joined the RAF. My Dad ended his war-time career in Japan, as a witness in the war-crimes trials, and was then sent back to India (Madras) from whence he immigrated to Canada."

His son writes: "Lt. Groves served with the 14th or 15th Punjabi Regiments, but served most of the war in allied intelligence (he was fluent in Japanese). He was an acting Major at some point (I have his cary-all with his name and Major's rank in Japanese)' and finished up his service in Japan at the War Crimes Trials, but shipped back in late 1946 to Madras, where he left for Montreal."
