A Second War Italian campaign ‘River Senio’ M.M. group of six awarded to Private W. A. Chapman, 5th Battalion, The Buffs Military Medal, G.VI.R. (5620908 Pte. W. A. Chapman. The Buffs.) naming officially re-impressed; 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Italy Star; War Medal 1939-45; Efficiency Medal, G.VI.R., 1st issue, Territorial (5620908 Pte. W. A. Chapman. Buffs.) contact marks, nearly very fine (6) £800-£1,000 --- M.M. London Gazette 13 December 1945. The original recommendation states: ‘Private Chapman has been employed as a Stretcher-bearer with “Y” Coy 5 Buffs during the Winter and Spring offensives. Private Chapman has throughout shown courage and endurance beyond praise, always ready to go out and fetch in a casualty no matter what the conditions or how heavy the fire. On one occasion on the Senio when a mine sweeper had trod on a Schu mine, Private Chapman immediately went into the minefield, dressed the wound and carried the man out. On another occasion when an officer had been wounded and two men trying to rescue him had also been wounded, Private Chapman immediately volunteered to go forward with three others to get the casualties back. Despite the fact that this party was fired on by MGs and the whole time the same area was under intense mortar fire, Private Chapman dressed the officer’s wounds and succeeded in getting him back to safety. Then, still under mortar fire, he dressed five wounded men and helped carry a stretcher for a thousand yards across appalling country. Private Chapman’s continual and conspicuous gallantry in action has not only been the direct cause of saving at least two lives but has been an inspiration and source of confidence to all those with whom he served.’ The Historical Record of the Buffs describes the rescue of Lieutenant Tutton on the above occasion: ‘Owing to the flood water, great difficulty had been experienced in evacuating the wounded, and Lieut. Tutton, who was hit six times during the withdrawal of Y Company, owes his life to the gallantry of Sergeant S. Hawtrey and Privates W. A. Chapman, B. A. Passmore and A. D. Storey, who, covered by Private H. W. G. Hill with a 2-in. mortar, went out under the intense fire of machine-guns and rifle grenades to dress his wounds and bring him back to safety. This signal act of bravery brought the Military Medal to Sergeant Hawtrey and Private Chapman.’

London Gazette 19 October 1916; 30 December 1941 (Middle East); 15 December 1942 (Middle East). Allan Spowers (1892-1968), army officer and company director, was born on 9 July 1892 at South Yarra, Melbourne, only son and third of six children of William George Lucas Spowers, a journalist from New Zealand, and his London-born wife Annie Christina, née Westgarth. Ethel Spowers was his elder sister. Allan attended Miss Turner’s school and boarded (from 1905) at Geelong Church of England Grammar School. Nicknamed ‘Jiggie’, he became a prefect and captain of boats. He entered the University of Melbourne (B.A., 1920) in 1912, but interrupted his studies to travel to England where he enlisted in the British Army and was commissioned in the East Lancashire Regiment on 4 May 1915. Attached to the regiment’s 6th Battalion, Spowers fought at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli, in August and in Mesopotamia in the following year. He won the Military Cross (1916) for leading his men in a night-attack during which he was twice wounded. In addition, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (1916) and was mentioned in dispatches. He was promoted lieutenant in April 1917 and demobilised from the army in July 1919. Returning to Melbourne, he worked as a journalist on the Argus and Australasian. At the 1930 Imperial Press Conference in London he represented these newspapers; within a few years he was a director of the company that ran them. On 29 April 1922 at St Mark’s Church of England, Darling Point, Sydney, he had married Rosamond Sandys Lumsdaine, a niece of A. B. (’Banjo’) Paterson. In 1928-33 Spowers served in the militia. He was mobilised as a captain in the 46th Battalion in September 1939 and promoted major in November. Transferring to the Australian Imperial Force in May 1940, he was promoted lieutenant colonel and appointed commander of the 2nd/24th Battalion in July. Six ft 1 in. tall and sparely built, with penetrating grey-blue eyes and a commanding voice, he maintained high standards of conduct, insisted on mental and physical toughness, and disdained pretentiousness. The 2nd/24th arrived in the Middle East in December 1940, withdrew to Tobruk, Libya, in April 1941 and was besieged there until October. In January 1942 the battalion was sent to Syria for intensive training. Spowers was twice mentioned in dispatches for his services. Ordered back to the Western Desert in June in response to the German advance into Egypt, he and his men played a leading role in the battle of Tel el Eisa. Lieutenant General Sir Leslie Morshead described Spowers’s leadership as ‘outstandingly meritorious’ and he was to be awarded a Bar (1945) to his D.S.O. On 12 July 1942 he became a prisoner of war when his jeep was inadvertently driven into enemy territory. Freed in Germany in March 1945 and repatriated in August, Spowers was appointed temporary colonel and director of amenities, Army Headquarters, Melbourne. He transferred to the Reserve of Officers on 17 July 1946. Although he resigned from the board of the Argus and Australasian Ltd in 1949, he held a number of other directorships and chaired (1951-59) the Victorian division of the Australian Red Cross Society. In 1956 he was appointed C.M.G. and to the Swedish Royal Order of Vasa. He died on 4 May 1968 at Golden Ball, his property at Everton, and was buried in Wangaratta cemetery; his wife, and their daughter and two sons survived him.’ (Australian Dictionary of Biography refers).
