Signalman (L/Cpl) Robert Herbert Bagley was serving with the 8th Indian Division 13th Corps at the time of the award of the Military Medal. The award appeared in the London Gazette 7.12.1944, the citation / recommendation for the award was as follows: “On the night of 11-12 May 44 during the Gari River crossing operation L/Cpl BAGLEY R. Volunteered to remain alone with his wireless set at the Beach Signal Masters post, after his second operator had to be withdrawn suffering from shell shock. Besides operating his wireless set L/Cpl Bagley acted as telephone orderly, and on many occasions during the night crawled out of his slit trench to repair the telephone line himself despite constant and accurate shelling, mortaring and machine-gun fire. By his devotion to duty and complete disregard for his personal safety, L/Cpl Bagley maintained both line and wireless commn single handed during the most critical stage of the assault”. The crossing of the Gari river, otherwise known as the Rapido river was of vital importance to the success of the fourth and final battle for Monte Cassino. It was during the fighting on the Gari that Kamal Ram of the 3rd Battalion, 8th Punjab Regiment was awarded his Victoria Cross. At 19 years of age, he was one of the youngest recipients of the VC during the Second World War.
