*
[Citation for the MC of Capt. R.B. Smith]. On
the 27th March 1944, a Jeep Platoon of 40 jeeps and trailers formed from 80
personnel drawn from all four companies of 78 Divisional RASC commenced
deliveries of ammunition, supplies, and water to divisional units in the
CASSINO – Villa Road, Cairo area. From the commencement of operations, and
in order to mitigate to the full the inexperience on the part of the personnel
of this type of operation Capt. Smith personally lead the greater majority of
the details, and supervised the correct and expeditious deliveries of loads to
units. Recovery work soon raised a problem since neither RASC or REME recovery
vehicles could operate in parts of the area. Capt. Smith tackled this himself, and sometimes for the second time in
the same night returned to the “circuit” and carried out recoveries, in
the dark, without lights, with improvised equipment and with the aid of
volunteer drivers whom he eventually trained for this work. Few nights passed without the “circuit” receiving in varying
degrees, enemy shells and mortars, and on the 18th of April the location of
the Platoon was shelled. Although badly shaken by blast during the subsequent
shelling he personally supervised the evacuation of his wounded and then
organized that night’s details. Throughout all this, for the month the
Platoon was operating, Capt. Smith’s ceaselessness devotion to duty,
disregard for personal safety, his coolness, leadership and example enabled
all of this to be done, and made the operation of the Jeep Platoon the signal
success that it was. [Recommendation signed by Maj. B.T. Broadbent (OC 328 Div

* 16th/5th Lancers fought all the day of 22nd Apr 45 in order to capture
MIRABELLO and before dawn on the 23rd they started for FINALE, with 1
K.R.R.C. When about 4,000 yards short of their objective, they came upon
some very close country with a great many houses, all of them holding
strongly fighting enemy. On forcing their way through some of this, they
came in sight of an enemy vehicle column and destroyed at least 150 vehicles
by gunfire. Lieut-Colonel Smyly went. forward in a light tank to
reconnoitre; during which time the C.O. of 1 K.R.R.C. was mortally wounded
in this light tank and the operator killed. Lieut-Colonel Smyly, however,
continued forward and issued the necessary orders to reach the river PANARO,
where a subsidiary bridge was captured, though blocked by destroyed enemy
fighting vehicles. Having organised the clearing of this, Lieut-Colonel
Smyly returned to the remainder of his force, which by then was surrounded
by enemy, and personally organised drives backwards and forwards through the
enemy infested close country. Though continuously under all types of fire,
Lieut-Colonel Smyly showed complete indifference to his personal safety, and
by encouraging all the troops under his command, by his example of coolness
and energy, mastered a very difficult situation, and successfully carried
out a heavy and punishing attack into the flank of the retreating German 4th
Parachute Division. |

Born in 1905 at Edgbaston he was the son of Captain JRH
Smyth JP and represented Charterhouse and RMC Sandhurst in the 100 yds and 200 yds sprints.
Commissioned into the Norfolk Regt in 1924, he served in Bermuda, Egypt, Shanghai and India before posting to the Depot, Britannia Barracks where he was Adjutant in
1936. He was Adjutant and Quartermaster the Royal Militia, Jersey 1936-1940 before posting to the 6th Bn The Royal Norfolk Regt in 1940 with whom he trained in Norfolk,
Scotland and Cheshire as OC B Coy. Proceeding overseas with 18th Division via Nova Scotia, the West Indies, Cape Town and Mombasa he landed in Singapore on 13
January 1942 and was in action 2 days later on the Malayan Mainland. Cut off and under Command of Lt Col Alan Cubitt, the Bn were ordered to take to the jungle and
endeavour to 'get back'. By a lucky contact with the Royal Navy it was evacuated to Singapore on 31 January and reformed but after the attack on the island was ordered
to lay down its arms on 14 February 1942. In Changi the 18th Division Officers Club was formed but after the war the word officers was dropped and it became a dining
club, meeting annually, alternately in Cambridge and London. Monty became its Secretary from 1947-1982 and President in 1982.
Retiring in 1946 to his origins in Worcester he built up a pedigree Jersey herd. A great and accurate shot, he devoted the next 40 years to Parochial, Rural District, County
Council, Country Landowners Association and Police Authority Committees. He became High Sheriff of the County of Worcester in 1966, a Trustee of local Almshouses
and schools, a General Commissioner of Income Tax and in 1983 he was made MBE for Public Services.

Dr Adrian O'Sullivan FRHistS writes: "The reason for the lack of a P/F is
doubtless that after the war Joe Spencer joined MI5, where he served until
retirement in 1954, and you will rarely if ever find SOE P/Fs of officers who
were subsequently in the secret services (MI5/MI6) released into the public
domain. However, in HS 8/971 (TNA) I find Joe Spencer's SOE symbol, which was
D/H.79 (allotted in London). His name has been struck through in pencil,
indicating that he was no longer employed by SOE at some time after the list of
names and symbols was compiled. This is sufficient evidence for me that Joe was
SOE before he was recruited into Security Intelligence Middle East (SIME)
personally by Brigadier Raymond Maunsell in late 1941." |

Recommendation
for the award of an immediate
Military Cross to A/Maj.
H.C. Stewart: "This Officer was in command of the assault
squadron, in support of 56th Infantry Brigade, 49th (West Riding) Infantry Division, for the crossing of the
RIVER IJSSEL on 12 Apr 45. The task allotted to this squadron was to force a crossing from 779762 and 777758 and to land between 778761 and 776759.
'H' hour was fixed for 2240, but at 2220 information was received that the blowing of the gaps in the bund had been unsuccessful and though work was proceeding it
was unlikely that the gaps would be completed in time. Major Stewart immediately went forward to recce alternative routes, but on nearing the bund
came under intense shell and mortar fire. Despite this fire, and in complete disregard of his own safety, he recced the complete bund and then wirelessed
back a message that he was going to order his Squadron to climb the bund and continue the assault according to schedule. Seeing the right
troop in difficulties, Maj Stewart climbed the bund and with the aid of a flashlamp directed the
troop in their climb over the bund. The first Buffalo over the bund was seen by the
enemy, and mortar bombs rained down in the area. Quite unperturbed, Maj Stewart directed five more craft over the bund and then returned to his own
craft, where he wirelessed information to the effect that to his knowledge, at least six craft were continuing the assault. Without a doubt, but for this officer's
complete disregard of his own safety, and his gallantry in directing operations in a exposed
position, the assault would have failed."
Date of citation - 18 Apr 45. Recommended by: S.I. Howard-Jones, MC, Lt.Col., OC 11 R
Tks, and approved by: N.W. Duncan, Brig. Comd 30 Armd Bde, S.B. Rawlins, Maj.Gen. Comd. 49

His son writes: "Saw action with the BEF in
France 1940, was evacuated at Dunkirk. He may have been serving with this
unit at the time 52nd (Bedfordshire Yeomanry) Heavy Regiment, Royal
Artillery. (Not sure) As far as I know, before Normandy he was with 419
Battery (52nd Hvy. Rgt.) then transferred to Regimental Headquarters of the
52nd (Bedfordshire Yeomanry) Heavy Regiment, Royal Artillery as regimental
adjutant(?not sure) just before the invasion. He was made Captain some time
in 44 and then Major before the war's end. After hostilities he was
transferred to Allied Reconstruction effort and worked in Germany, part of
the Allied effort restoring the German financial system I am guessing under
the Marshal Plan (not sure). My parents were married in Bruxelles in Dec
1947 and he was still in the British Army. He was demobilised in 1948."

by his C.O., Lt.Col. Patrick Hobart, to lead the way in his Cromwell tank, and
crossed seven bridges in rapid succession: ‘I should have checked each
bridge, but after the first one there was no need to waste time on the
rest.’]

Lieutenant J. M. Storey was wounded and captured at Tobruk on 20 June 1942.
Taken to a hospital at Bergamo, he was, after three months, transferred to
Campo 35 at Padula. While here he attempted to escape by making a passage
through a roof, but was blocked by a concrete wall. Later he started a tunnel
with seven others, but this was discovered after five days. In August 1943, en
route to Campo 19 at Bologna, he escaped by jumping from the train, but was
re-captured next day. After the Germans arrived at Campo 19 on 9 September
1943, Lieutenant Storey took his tunnel party up to the roof, where they
remained for 13 days, during which period the Germans were living below and
looting the camp. During the last week he was ill with stomach trouble, but on
22 September he took his party down and they escaped over the wire. He lay up
in a house for a while and then made his way to the British lines, arriving on
30 November 1943.
** On 23 March 1945, after the crossing of the Rhine, 1st Royal Tank Regiment
was ordered to seize the village of Ramsdorf. A patrol of two light tanks was
sent to reconnoitre the village and managed to get about half way in without
incident. Then the second tank was hit by a Panzerfaust and set on fire.
Meanwhile, accurate mortar and machine-gun fire was brought down on the patrol
and further shots from the Panzerfausts were directed at the second tank.
Captain Storey,
who commanded the Reconnaissance Troop from which the patrol came, immediately
went forward alone in his scout car to the scene of the incident. He extracted
two wounded men from the burning tank and then set about organising a small
defensive position with the remaining tanks and the few other men available.
Realising the importance of clearing the village and gaining the river bridge so
that the advance would not be held up, Captain Storey held on to his precarious
footing in the centre of the village for two more hours, under continuous mortar
and machine-gun fire, and with snipers working round to his flanks and rear,
until the infantry could be brought up to join him. This officer undoubtedly
saved valuable hours at a critical time in the operation and enabled the bridge
to be secured in tact. |
