George VI Regular Army Long Service Good Conduct Medal Awarded to Serjeant Sidney Charles Royal Engineers Who Was Taken Prisoner of War at the Fall of Hong Kong and Killed When Being Transported to Japan on the SS Lisbon Maru which was Sunk by US Submarine USS Grouper in 1942, George VI Army Long Service Good Conduct medal with Regular Army bar, named in the correct style to “1862399 SJT S CHARLES R.E.” The medal is housed in its original forwarding box. Accompanying the medal is photocopied research and a copy of the book “The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru – Britain’s Forgotten Wartime Tragedy” by Tony Banham. Sidney Charles was born on 13th April 1900 in Gillingham, Kent. His civilian trade is listed as Shipwright. He enlisted in the Royal Engineers in at Chatham on 9th June 1922. He served with various units of the Royal Engineers before being posted to 40th Fortress Company Royal Engineers in Hong Kong. He was reported missing and prisoner of war of the Japanese on Christmas day 1941. Charles along with 1,815 other British and Canadian prisoners, taken at the fall of Hong Kong were loaded onto the transport ship SS Lisbon Maru, and was on its way to Japan when it was attacked and sunk by the US Submarine USS Grouper with the loss of over 800 passengers, it was stated that some prisoners were shot by Japanese soldiers as they tried to escape the sinking ship. The Japanese did not mark the ship detailing that Prisoners of War were being transported so allied submarines had no clue as to the cargo on board. The book accompanying this medal details the event, it tells the story of many of the prisoners struggles with the Japanese soldiers who had no intention in trying to help them at first, it states that Sidney Charles was one of those men who managed to escape the ship but was eventually overcome by the water, “As Royal Engineer Sergeant Sidney Charles, born in Gillingham Kent on 13th April 1900, drifted away from his companions, he must have eventually realised that he would never see his wife, Alice, whom he had married in 1931, and son, David again.”

His father was a Reverent who died of the Spanish Flu in 1919. He was educated at St Edmunds, Canterbury. In 1933 he joined the Royal Navy. His obituary gives the following details “At the outbreak of war Corbett was junior hand in Impulsive, but was soon appointed first lieutenant of Brazen. He was due to leave her to take a course in torpedo and anti-submarine warfare, but insisted on staying at sea. On 15 April 1940, while escorting a landing force to Harstad during the Norwegian campaign, Brazen and her fellow destroyer Fearless attacked the German submarine U-49. Five depth charges were dropped and the U-boat burst to the surface . All but one of the 42-man crew were saved, and while engaged in the rescue work Brazen picked up papers which gave the entire U-boat disposition for the German invasion of Norway. Corbett was mentioned in despatches. After Brazen was sunk off Dover by German aircraft on July 20 1940, Corbett served briefly as first lieutenant in the Hunt-class Tyndale, and in June 1941 he joined the newly-built Lookout, which took part in Arctic convoys, in Operation Ironclad (the occupation of Madagascar) and Operation Pedestal (to resupply Malta). Under a new commanding officer, in May 1943 Corbett took part in Operation Retribution, which prevented the escape by sea of German forces from North Africa to Sicily . Only a few hundred Germans escaped the blockade, and Corbett was awarded a DSC. In September 1943 Corbett was given command of Wheatland, and was at the Allied landings at Salerno until deployed to the Adriatic. On the night of November 1 1944, Corbett was in command of the Hunt-class destroyer Wheatland, leading the destroyer Avon Vale northwards through the shipping lanes inshore of the island of Lussino in the northern Adriatic. His mission was to prevent the evacuation of German troops from Dalmatia, and, keeping his ships hidden against the shadow of the land, he was watching carefully over the Quarnerolo Channel when he spotted two German corvettes, UJ-205 and UJ-208. Increasing to full speed, and lighting the channel with star shell, Corbett opened fire with four-inch guns at 4,000 yards, and in a fierce exchange quickly reduced one corvette to a wreck and blew up the other. Avon Vale had stopped to pick up survivors when a third German ship, the ex-Italian torpedo boat-destroyer TA-20, rounded a headland and opened fire before turning to flee. Corbett gave chase, and in a running fight sank TA-20. The action was over in half an hour, and 71 German survivors were pulled from the water that night and 20 more the next day. Corbett was awarded a DSO. He continued to serve in the Royal Navy during the post war years, being awarded the CBE in 1968. He retired from the Navy in 1969 and died in April 2012. See C&T Auctioneers and Valuers Arms, Armour & Militaria Sale 1/11/2017 for another tunic belonging to this officer.

Accompanying the medals is the official recommendation for his award, “Major Beard enlisted into the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment in 1935. He served on the North West Frontier of India before the Second World War and during the war saw further active service in Burma and in the campaign in North West Europe. In 1959 he was commissioned as a Lieutenant (Short Service) and two years later he was selected for a Regular (Quartermaster) Commission. He retired from the active list of the Regular Army as a Major in 1967. In March 1971 on the sudden expansion of the TAVR he rejoined the Army to become the Quartermaster of 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion The Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment on consolidated rates of pay, which appointment he still holds. As a soldier and as Quartermaster of this Battalion his performance has always been outstanding. After any inspection of any of his areas of responsibility whether it is vehicles, weapons, radios, messing, barracks or clothing accounts, the staff reports are first class. The service he provides to the battalion is faultless. A further two years have passed since this recommendation was last made during which time a further series of staff inspections has resulted in excellent reports. Annual camp has also taken place and despite severe staff shortage Major Beard provided perfect Q support to the Battalion, and to young soldiers he represents all that is best in the tradition of the Regimental Officer, being always kind, firm and fair in his dealings with all. In addition to the fulltime, demanding work as Quartermaster of an Infantry Battalion he takes a very active part in the affairs of his old regiment, The Royal Lincolnshire Regiment. He is fit and active despite his age 61, would appear to relish further years of service, and as his Commanding Officer I could not wish for a more efficient Quartermaster. Public recognition of this outstanding record of service would seem to be very long overdue.” This group is being sold by family descent, please see lot --- and --- for swords which belonged to Major Beard.
