Educated at the United Services College, he was commissioned into the Royal Marine Light Infantry in September 1887. In October 1890 he transferred as a lieutenant to the Indian Staff Corps and first saw service in the Waziristan Expedition (1894-1895) and on the North-West Frontier he took part in the defence and relief of Malakand, the relief of Chakdara and in operations in Bajaur and in the Mamund country.

Vol 1 The Story of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, 41st Dogras (1923) records that:‘The Regiment had good cause to mourn its losses on this day. Lt-Col CW Tribe, who had commanded since 1912 had earned the greatest admiration and respect on account of his gallantry. Celebrated for his contempt of danger, he instilled a large measure of his courage into his battalion. Apart from the example he set his Regiment in the field, his able administration of it in peace had laid it under a deep debt of gratitude. The condition report on CMG - enamel is in good condition (see image). The medals are named and close up images have been added.

For Military Cross group see Plate 2 £1000-1500 Note:JohnAndrewBethell-Fox, Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Sherwood Rangers, Middle East (Egypt and Libya) Military Cross, London Gazette 11.03.1943. Recommendation states: 7th Armd Div, 30th Corps “In the action at Agheila on the 14th Dec. 42 Lt. Bethel-Fox (sic) was in command of the right hand flank troop of the Crusader Squadron, during the whole of this day he showed the highest initiative, courage and good soldierly qualities in his movements against the enemy. During this period he lost no opportunity in inflicting casualties upon the enemy’s vehicles and personnel, without losing a single tank in the afternoon, having seen what he thought to be a movement of enemy tanks around his right flank, he moved forward, destroyed two tanks, and then seeing an Anti Tank Gun in action on the far side of a ridge, engaged and destroyed it in the face of heavy fire from this and other guns in the vicinity. During this period his tank was hit many times. On his return, seeing that the track of another Crusader had been split, and the tank itself under heavy shell and machine gun fire, he went alongside, himself adjusted the tow rope and pulled it out of action. At last light, when getting out of his tank on entering close leaguer, he was wounded by enemy shell fire. This officer’s conduct during the day is but another example of the courage shown by him in the battle for the Sidi Rahman Track on 3 Nov 42 on which occasion he was also wounded. I consider that Lieut. Bethel-Fox, on this, as on previous occasions, showed great initiative, fine leadership and complete disregard for his personal safety.” signed by Montgomery. The Sidi Rahman Track was part of the Second Battle of El Alamein; the action at El-Agheila took place as part of Rommel’s rearguard action following his El Alamein defeat. On 6th June 1944 Bethell-Fox was with the Sherman tanks of A Squadron during the D-Day invasion of Normandy with the 8th Armoured Brigade, landing on Gold Beach, Arromanches, from where they supported the push to capture Bayeux. By 8th June they were at Pt 103 above St Pierre. Bethell-Fox went on foot with his “Great Pal” Captain Keith Douglas, (the celebrated WWII Poet) to ascertain enemy positions and movements around the area. The following day they again left their tanks on their own initiative for further recconaissance but after arriving at a stream they were fired on by enemy machine guns. Captain Douglas, who had often harboured negative thoughts of his own mortality, became “paralised with fear” and after a scramble they managed to get back to Pt 103, however, shortly after this a shell burst took Douglas’s life. In 1944 Bethell-Fox wrote “Green Beaches” whilst recovering from wounds received at Normandy. Promotions: Lieut. R.A.C. May 1942; Captain 9th Lancers 22.11.1946; Major 22.11.1953.
