London Gazette 2 June 1973. The original Recommendation state: ‘22811780 Warrant Officer Class I Arthur Melville Lambert, Royal Corps of Transport, has been employed as the Regimental Sergeant Major of the Junior Leaders Regiment, Royal Corps of Transport since February 1971. His duties within the regiment are considerable, dealing as he does with all aspects of administration and discipline in a unit which is heavily engaged in training and equally heavily committed in the local community and youth activities. Throughout this period he has performed his duties with exceptional efficiency, loyalty, and devotion. As the Regimental Sergeant Major he spends many hours in the planning and organisation of unit activities and he consistently maintains the very highest standards of personal conduct, bearing and integrity. In consequence he sets a fine example to the permanent staff and junior leaders alike. He was instrumental in the planning and organisation of a Royal Visit earlier in the year, and its success was in no small way due to his diligence, hard work, and unfailing attention to detail. In the sphere of assistance to the civilian community, Mr. Lambert has been involved in the planning and organisation of numerous activities for both handicapped and disabled persons: the Somerset County Handicapped Persons Rally, the South West Regional Spastics Games, and the Mentally Handicapped Sports are but three of the many activities sponsored by the regiment during the year in which he has taken an active and responsible part. In addition, he has worked tirelessly in organising local youth and old age pensioners’ activities. His efforts have done much to ensure the success of all these ventures and have brought great credit upon the Army. Warrant Officer Class I Lambert is an outstanding Warrant Officer who never fails to give of his best and his work has been carried out in a manner vastly superior to that which could normally be expected. His exceptional and outstanding services have been an inspiration to his comrades and a fine example to all with whom he has come into contact.’ Arthur Melville Lambert attested for the Royal Army Service Corps, and having transferred to the Royal Corps of Transport was advanced Warrant Officer Class I (Regimental Sergeant Major). He was commissioned Captain (Quartermaster) in the Royal Corps of Transport on 25 April 1974, and was promoted Major (Quartermaster) on 25 April 1982, and Lieutenant-Colonel (Quartermaster) on 11 September 1986. He retired on 8 June 1990.
