Z in Delhi. After the attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941, Hong Kong fell to the Japanese on Christmas Day with Singapore following in February 1942; the Japanese were now rapidly advancing in Burma.Shelley was given the task of establishing a group to report from the dense Burmese jungle any intelligence regarding Japanese positions and movements. This legendary group, given the nickname “The Johnnies”, comprised originally of 10 hand picked men who were selected partly from the Burma civil list and who were not only used to army and jungle life but had to show imense courage and the ability to survive on their own. Theywere generally recruited from the Forest Dept of Burma or had worked in forestry with timber companies, they worked in pairs, with each patrol having a minimum of eight men selected largely from ex Burma Riflemen who had escaped back to India. In 1945 Shelley was awarded the CBE, the recommendation from the Director of Intelligence India dated 16 May 1945 states “I have known Colonel Shelley since his arrival in India in the autumn of 1942. At that time there was no clandestine organization obtaining information about the Japanese in the area up to about 100 miles behind their foremost outposts in Burma. This task was entrusted to Colonel Shelley who raised a special force for this purpose with conspicuous success. During the fighting in 1942, 1943 and 1944, this organization produced more operational intelligence of direct value than any other field organization in this theatre. Much of the undoubted success of this organization was due to Colonel Shelley himself, both as a result of his previous experience in this type of work and by reason of the energy, initiative and enthusiasm which he has displayed and which gained him the affection of all his officers. Although 56 years of age and by no means physically fit as a result of his experiences in Poland in September 1939, he has never spared himself and has set a fine example of devotion to duty. His work and the results of his work has been uniformly excellent and he is eminently worthy of the award proposed”.In June 1945 Z Force was disbanded, the service given by the Johnnies evident from the awards bestowed, apart from Shelley’s CBE the Johnnies were also awarded 2 Distinguished Service Orders, nineteen Military Crosses and sixteen Burma Gallantry Medals. Field Marshal Viscount Slim stated later on meeting some of the men “I remember thinking to myself as I shook hands with some of them - you are very much braver men than I can ever hope to be”. See “The Johnnies” by Lt. Gen Sir Geoffrey Evans KBE, CB, DSO and “MI6, The History of the Secret Intelligence Service 1909-1949” by Keith Jeffery for further details and an insight into the world of this remarkable man who died in December 1966.
