* In February 1942 2/7th Gurkha Rifles were
holding the ridge at Cassino. The weather was atrocious with blinding sleet.
The plan was for two divisions, the 2nd New Zealand and the 4th Indian, to
attack the town from the North. Fighting was fierce and continuous and one
of the two leading companies of the 2/7th Gurkha Rifles was apparently
overrun. Miles, with additional help from men from the 4/16th Punjabis, was
ordered to restore the situation. It turned out that some of the Gurkhas
from the supposed overrun company were stiff in position. Even so fighting
was still fierce and Miles was wounded in the neck. He was subsequently
awarded the Military Cross. |

He served as Richard Merrett (his real name) in the
Royal Navy in the Great War and was too old to fly between the Wars. So he used
his younger brother’s name – Thomas Kilminster (TK) to join the RAF
and serve later in the Army. Besides
flying, he also was involved in boxing. As Richard Merrett he was mentioned in
dispatches for an engagement in WWI between the ship he was on and a U-boat
where his gun disabled the U-boat after taking a direct hit. Also, his name
appears on the church wall at the parish church in Dymock, Gloucestershire on a
plaque for those who served during WWI.
