Looking for details on a RM officer not listed here yet?
Just e-mail me, and I might be able to help out.
Of course, any additions, corrections etc. can also be e-mailed.

Note. In naval circles it is custom to refer to the commander of a vessel as Captain. The Navy List bears the phrase "in command".
Strictly out of practical considerations CO (Commanding Officer) is used here on this site. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.

* Recommendation for the Military Cross to Capt. K.R.M. Perrott, RM: "On every occasion during the operation has shown initiative and courage of the highest order accompanied by absolute tireless energy. During several periods when the Royal Canadian Artillery Regiment Forward Observation Officers were not able to call for fire from his troop this officer, of his own accord, went forward to reconnaissance Observation Posts and to contact Infantry Commanders and offer close support from his 95 mm Guns. He established Observation Posts with his Sherman Tank, or in buildings, far forward in the infantry positions. Through great initiative be engaged and harrassed the enemy when in support of a Battalion of the North Nova Scotia Regiment of Canada at VILLONS LES BUISSONS on 9 June 1944. The Battlion was being counter attacked very strongly when Capt. PERROTT arrived, and his supporting fire was successfully brought down in a few minutes and greatly assisted the Infantry in holding the position. In addition to the above task which was not part of his normal duties, Capt. PERROTT went forward with 46 R.M. Commando on 11 June,44 and moved with their Commanding Officer from ROSEL to ROTS so as to give every possible assistance. He furthermore remained out for the whole of the night of 11/12 June 1944, within 600 yds of ROTS so he could call for fire from his guns in an emergency. During that period he was aware of the fact that Tiger Tanks had been seen in the area, but with great devotion to duty he undertook this special task."

* Citation: "Lieutenant-Colonel Phillips was commanding 47 (RM) Commando during the assault in the Le Hamel area on 6 June 1944. The task of this commando was to land behind the right assault brigade (231st Brigade) of the Division and after passing through it advance and capture Port en Bessin, a distance of some eight miles. Owing to the high wind and tempestuous seas several of the assault landing craft were swamped and the occupants had to swim for it - much equipment and many arms were lost. Undismayed by this misfortune Lt.Col. Phillips soon had his men assembled and re-organised, those without weapons and equipment being made up from captured enemy material, and the advance began. Soon after passing through the leading elements of 231st Brigade the commando ran up against stiff resistance and from then on until the port fell to them the next day they had to fight the whole way. Never once did they falter or hesitate and by the skilful leadership and determination of Lt.Col. Phillips each successive point of resistance was methodically and relentlessly overpowered - some 250 prisoners were captured and a large number of enemy killed. The defence of the port was stronger than had been anticipated, and included some well armed flak ships. It was defended stubbornly and with great tenacity, but the commando was not to be denied and by great feat of arms and endurance finally triumphed. This outstanding achievement was largely due to Lt.Col. Phillips' gallant conduct and resolution, the inspiring example he set and his exceptional qualities as a leader and commander." Recommended by Maj.Gen. D.A.H. Graham, commander 50th Northumbrian Division, acknowledged by Lt.Gen. G.C. Bucknall, commander 30 Corps & Lt.Gen. M.C. Dempsey, commander 2nd Army.
** Dutch Royal Decree No. 29, 24.04.1946. Citation: "The above named officer commanded 47 (RM) Commando during the assault landing on Walcheren and later, until Jan 1945, on the River Maas North of Oosterhout, when he returned to the UK on promotion. He returned the following month in command of 116th Infantry Brigade Royal Marines which was deployed on the River Maas between Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch. During the months of March and April the Royal Netherlands Brigade served under command and took part in many highly successful raids in strength across the river, notably at Hedel."
