2nd
Battalion The Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment (killed in action) * |
* From R.H. Medley, Cap badge : the story of
four battalions of The Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment and The
Hertfordshire Regiment (TA) (1995): "It was now 22 May and shelling activity
built up during the day. Battalion headquarters [at Avelgem] was heavily
shelled but suffered no casualties. In spite of the observation provided by Mont
d'Eclus the Germans sent up an observation balloon beyond the range of our
anti-tank guns. There was sporadic artillery fire during the morning and sounds
of heavy automatic fire away to the right flank. The shelling increased in
intensity during the afternoon and "A" Company on the left was subjected to a
creeping barrage which ranged back and forth for some four hours. A direct hit
on one trench had killed Medway, who had distinguished himself earlier by
taking a reconnaissance patrol on to the enemy side of the Escaut. The Germans
had established a foothold across the Escaut further to the left of the
Battalion and 13 Platoon under PSM Wilson was sent to strengthen "A" Company.
The shelling continued and was now falling in the reserve areas." |

Battalion The Dorsetshire Regiment (killed in action near Villers Bocage,
France) |
From an obituary: ""Ice-cold
and terrific in action," is one description of him. The last recollection a
wounded brother Officer had of him, before losing consciousness, was of Meredith
standing over him with a Sten gun tackling a Tiger tank. He was deeply kind and
humane with no killing instinct, but he would never shrink or fail in a fight.
He was one who was never satisfied unless he had given of his best, whether it
was in games or his work or war or any other effort. To those who knew him well
this high standard applied also to all his notions of conduct. In short, a very
gallant soldier and gentleman.'" |

WWI: British War Medal, Victory Medal.
* During the operations in May, Lieut.-Col. Miller displayed the greatest
ability and gallantry in command of his battalion, especially during the
battle at La Bassee on May 28. Inspired by his leadership, his battalion
held out until completeiy surrounded by enemy infantry and tanks, causing
many casualties to the enemy in men and material. When ordered to withdraw,
what remained of his battalion Lieut.-Col. Miller led his headquarters
through the enemy, displaying great daring and skill in doing so. The
resistance of the Cameron Highlanders prevented the enemy from turning the
right flank of the French troops on the Camerons' left. The determined
resistance of his battalion was
largely due to Lieut.-Col. Mliller's powers of leadership and utter
disregard for personal safety.
** For conspicuous gallantry in action. He assumed command of two companies,
holding on to an enemy trench with great courage and determination. He set a
splendid example to his men. |

Recommendation for the appointment as
Member of the Order of the British Empire (Military Division)
of Capt. T.
de. B. Miller: "This officer has been in
command of a special and most important Intelligence Unit in MALTA for the past
four years. During the past year, in particular, lack of first class equipment,
shortage of personnel and enemy action have provided extremely great
difficulties which Captain MILLER has surmounted in an outstanding fashion.
Despite everything he has kept a flow of the most important and urgent
information unceasingly and it is considered that his performance constitutes an
outstanding example of devotion to duty."
Recommended by Brig. F.W. de Guingand, Director of Military Intelligence,
General HQ Middle East, approved by Lt.Gen. T.W. Corbett, Chief of General
Staff, General HQ Middle East. |

* Divisional history of 43rd Infantry Division
reads: "..the minefields laid by 84th US Division would cause a certain amount
of difficulty. At that time, little was know as to their exact location. Brigade
commanders were therefore ordered to decide where they would debouch and to lift
the mines. In this task the RE were to give all the help they could. Altogether
it was eventually found that no less than fourteen hundred mines would have to
be lifted to enable 214 Brigade to break out. By the morning of 14th November,
204 Field Company had picked up a considerable number of these American mines
and loaded them on lorries. Major Evill, the Company Commander, decided to dump
them near the Custom House on the German border, where 129 Brigade Headquarters
was established. The lorries arrived here soon after and No 1 Platoon started
unloading them. During the morning Brigadier Mole had a tour of his line. On
returning he noticed this unusual activity going on close to his Headquarters
and walked over to find out why this particular site had been chosen. As he
approached seven hundred mines spontaneously detonated. There was an appalling
explosion which blew a crater thirty feet across and five feet deep. No fewer
than fourteen men of No1 Platoon were instantaneously killed and Brigadier Mole
and six sappers seriously wounded. Brigadier Mole......died the same evening." |

Cheltonian,
Commando and Chindit: Lt. James
Molesworth (H, 1935)
William Molesworth (H, 1978) pays tribute to his uncle, James Vernon
Crispin Molesworth, whose death as a POW in Burma in 1943 at the age of 26 is a
reminder of the sacrifice made by the many young Old Cheltonians of his
generation. Born 100 years ago, Uncle Jim was the third generation of my family
to attend College, following his father, Charles, 10th Viscount Molesworth (H,
1891) and grandfather, Samuel, 8th Viscount Molesworth (First Hall, 1849), the
latter a Founder Pupil. After a troubled first term, when he is said to have run
away to Dowdesell Reservoir, Jim earned kudos through his prowess at football
(1935 XV), rowing and boxing. His time at Hazelwell coincided with the
redoubtable John Cedric Gurney (1927-43), whose disdain of boys too young to
have fought in the Great War may have prejudiced their relationship, although
perhaps the reason partly lay in Jim’s penchant for long bicycle rides with a
friend to nearby country pubs! After Sandhurst in 1937, he joined the 2nd
Battalion The Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, which in its prenatal existence
as the 46th Foot had been the family regiment since the eighteenth century. The
pre-war years were good times for a young officer like Jim, with plenty of
riding, hunt balls and a King’s Levée. With war declared in September 1939, he
did not go with his battalion as part of the initial British Expeditionary Force
that immediately crossed to France, only going over in the second wave of March
1940. Since little had happened during the ‘Phoney War’, however, he was still
in time to take part in major actions along the Rivers Dyle and Escaut, as well
as the final defensive position around Dunkirk, until evacuated in early June
1940. The following month Jim volunteered for Special Service with the
newly-formed No. 3 Commando, one of the first units to be so named. Training in
utmost secrecy at the Combined Training Centre at Inverary, his posting came
through by the end of the year, so that he was able to go on the largescale raid
on the Lofoten Islands in Norway in March 1941 (Operation Claymore), when vital
components of a German Enigma machine were captured, which eventually led to the
cracking of the German code. A return visit at the end of 1941 saw further raids
carried out on the island of Vågsøy and port of Måløy (Operation Archery), which
involved fierce street fighting. In March 1942 Jim transferred to 142 Commando
in India under Major ‘Mad Mike’ Calvert. The latter worked closely with the
eccentric Brigadier Orde Wingate as part of the Special Forces element of the
legendary Chindits, the pioneers of Long Range Penetration in the jungle.
Wingate built up his men – officers included – with gruelling route marches in
the unforgiving environment of the Indian jungle, during which there were
several casualties to malaria and drowning. The justification for such hazardous
training was Operation Longcloth, launched in February 1943, when some 3,200 men
crossed into Japanese-held Burma. Their objective was to create havoc in the
enemy’s back yard by disrupting his lines of communication and supply,
particularly railways, bridges and ammunition depots, as well as harassing the
enemy when opportunity arose. Divided into eight columns of 400 men, each column
was to be capable of acting independently by weekly supply drops from the air, a
novel concept in warfare. Some 1,100 mules, nevertheless, were necessary for
heavy weapons, ammunition, bulky radios and medical supplies, also 200 bullocks,
50 dogs of various breeds, and an assortment of horses and elephants. Since his
father had bred Channel Island cattle, Jim was placed in overall charge of this
Hannibalic assemblage, the likes of which had probably not gone into action with
the British army before, nor, one imagines, are ever likely to! With the
advantage of surprise, the Chindits at first carried out their acts of sabotage
and ambush with little loss. Spurred on by early success, Wingate ordered the
brigade deeper into enemy territory. The initial response of the Japanese had
been to cut off their road routes, but once they realised they were being
supplied by air, they became adept at intercepting these. Inevitably this led to
animals being slaughtered for food. Others were put down from injury and
sickness, or else freed once beyond serviceable use. Jim’s role as chief
muleteer thus lessened to the extent that by March he had become one of
Wingate’s liaison officers, running between columns to deliver latest orders and
report back. This entailed hazardous treks through dense jungle trails and
scrubland, for which good orientation was essential, as even when a destination
was only a few miles away, rarely could one travel as the crow flies and using
well worn tracks was to be avoided. By this time the Chindits were fighting off
more and more Japanese, who were now fully mobilised. The enemy was able to use
tanks on the jungle tracks, a threat the Chindits were unable to answer. Besides
injury from contact, there were the everpresent risks of louse and disease.
Those unable to keep up were simply left behind, although it was sometimes
possible to leave them with friendly villagers. Rather than face capture or a
lone death, some men requested a coup de grace – an overdose of morphia was the
kindest option – or else took their own life. By now, late March, the Chindits
had been operational more than six weeks. Most were exhausted, many diseased or
suffering hunger and dehydration. They were some 500 miles inside enemy
territory, heavily outnumbered and on the wrong side of the Irrawaddy river,
which was 3/4 mile wide in places. With little further that could be achieved,
Wingate was ordered to pull out. After an attempted re-crossing of the Irrawaddy
was stopped by a Japanese patrol on the far bank, he divided his men into small
dispersal groups to make their own way back to India. With the offensive role
over, the priority was now speed and evasion. They thus stripped down their
arms, discarded heavy equipment, and abandoned or ate the remaining animals. Jim
was given a party of the highly regarded Burma Rifles and Gurkhas, but these
soon ran into difficulties. For many Chindits would become trapped within the
pocket of land at the confluence of the Irrawaddy and Shweli, and Jim’s group
seems to have been among those compromised. Still fit at time of capture, he
later contracted dysentery, was transferred to a prison hospital, but succumbed
to his illness in June 1943. The rights and wrongs of Longcloth are still hotly
debated. Although valuable propaganda at the time, it achieved little
tactically, while those rendered hors de combat, whether through injury,
disease, imprisonment or death, may have been as high as 80% of the brigade.
Ultimately, any assessment must take account of the controversial figure of
Wingate himself, who has been variously hailed as military genius who paved the
way for all future jungle operations, or dangerous maverick with profligate
disregard for men and resources. Perhaps he was a little of both. What is agreed
by all those who served under him is that he was an inspirational leader of men.
For him they pushed themselves to the limit: my uncle was one of them. |

Son Henry More about his father
Col. G.R.M.H. More, RE
and grandfather Capt. G.I.S. More, RN
(retd): "My Dad went out to the Middle East
at the beginning of 1941 on one of the three Glenships (they carried LCAs) as
part of 11 Commando. He led one of the landing parties at the Litani River
operation in Syria against the Vichy French. Nasty business but he got an MC for
his efforts - but lost his CO, Dick Pedder, KIA who he thought the world of.
After the commando he joined 7th Armoured Division and became a Desert Rat as
assistant to the CRE (Dad was a Sapper). My grandfather was in the RN from the
1890s and was commander G on HMS Lord Nelson at the Dardanelles operation in
1915/16 then joined an RN mission to the Royal Hellenic Navy (Greek Navy!) for
which he got an OBE. My Dad was actually born in Athens in 1918 a week or so
before the Armistice. At the end of WW1, grandfather was invalided out for
eyesight (an excuse really to reduce the headcount) and spent the years between
the wars playing golf etc. When WW2 came round, he started agitating and
eventually got a couple of jobs in UK before they decided he was a bit too
belligerent for them at home so they sent him out to Kabrit to run Saunders for
Combined Operations (he was born in 1882 so he would have been about 60 when he
joined Saunders!). Even when I knew my grandfather (when he was old) he was
still bursting with energy and showed me how they taught the sailors to fire
Thompsons. Anyway, grandfather took up the Saunders job in June 1942 and my Dad
would go down to Kabrit to see him when he came back from the desert on leave.
Since Dad had landed in some pretty crude LCAs at the Litani he probably could
tell his Dad a thing or two about landing from the sea. Then Dad joined SOE and
was dropped into the Balkans for 14 months. Of course when he got out he went
back to Kabrit to check in with his Dad. Then grandfather went on to India with
Combined Operations in December 1944/January 1945 (getting ready for the planned
Japan landings) while Dad went back to regular soldering in Italy and Greece
before returning to the UK in 1945. After the war, Dad served in Egypt
(Ismailia) from about 1950 to 1952 when things started to wind up there with
Nasser and wind down for the British. My mother, elder brother and I were there
and we all lived on a houseboat on the Sweetwater canal which branches off the
Suez canal at Ismailia heading towards Cairo (north of Kabrit). Our boat was an
old ML (ML1316 as I recall) which Dad worked on getting the engines rebuilt." |

Recommendation for the award of the Distinguished
Service Order to A/Lt.Col.
F.R.H. Morgan: For conspicuous ability and leadership in command of his Bn.
during the 27th and 28th May, his Bn greatly reduced by casualties held a long sector at ROUGE CROIX.
No reserve except the carrier platoon was available. By his skilful dispositions, by his personal example of bravery where enemy pressure was heaviest and by his very
able use of his carrier platoon he maintained his line intact against heavy enemy attacks by A.F.Vs and Infantry.
Recommended by Brig. N.I. Whitty, O.C. 133th Infantry Brigade. |

“We carried the boats to the Waal for the
evacuation of the paratroopers from Arnhem – carried a lot of them away after
the show. I can't say how many of them were taken prisoner but I do know that
there were quite a lot who wouldn’t leave the wounded who couldn’t be evacuated.
They did a magnificent job their efforts will understandably go down in history
as the most heroic stand ever made by heroes of any nationality.” |

Mrs Stella
Marsh writes: "My uncle Percival Eric
Mott was a member of the Calcutta Light
Horse, when he was able to join the army he trained in the Bangalore Cadet
Collegen then to Mhow in Indore. He was with the 8th Indian Division in Meirut.
He travelled by train across the Sind desert to Karachi, then by sea to Basra in
Iraq. At some point he became the youngest Major in the army but I don't know
when. He travelled across the desert to Transjordan - Palestine; across Sinai
and over the Suez Canal and into the Egyptian desert; they held the enemy at
Ruiweisite Ridge until new troops arrived - ultimately all of this became the
Alamein Line. The next treck was the 1500 miles from Egypt to Tunis, hard
driving over awful desert. Once in Alexandria he was posted away from his
British Section and took over an Indian Infantry Brigade HQ Signals section.
They drove across Sinia through Palestine and up into Lebanon to train as a
Mountain Division, for operations along the spine of Italy. He landed at Taranto
in December 1943. They had some grim battles, including Casino and breaking
through the Gothic line and then on North. The captured the independent state of
San Marino and then continued North. Near Forli they were pulled out for rest
and recuperation but before this could happen they were ordered to Salonika in
Greece. VJ day was followed by orders to return to India first to Karachi then
on to Sialkot in the North followed by a sudden move to Poona near Bombay (1000
miles away). He was then posted to Shillong 800 miles North East of Calcutta.
Ultimately he saw the British flag pulled down and the new one hauled up on 1st
September 1947." |

A relative writes: "We also know that early in
the war he was attached to a unit involved with a radar station (presumably
experimental) in Cornwall and now know, thanks to help from Sheffield
University that they were working on developing radar during the war. Other than
that we have no proof but family hearsay of the following: Lt. Mounter was
involved in the Normandy Landings. Prior to joining the Royal Fusiliers he was
in the Indian Army (we know he was fluent in Urdu and another Indian language,
so this may be correct). He fought in Holland and was injured, possibly blown up
in a jeep (throughout his life he did have tiny bits of shrapnel appear in his

Richmond, where he died, he had 'a distinguished war record'."
