London Gazette 1 January 1917: ‘Temporary Major, Machine Gun Corps.’ D.S.C. London Gazette 1 January 1916: ‘Temporary Captain, Royal Marines. For services with the Royal Naval Division Motor Transport Company in France.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 1 January 1916 and 4 January 1917. Frank Summers served as a Trooper in the B.S.A. Company’s Police during the Matabele Rebellion of 1893, and also acted as a Correspondent for Reuters whilst attached to the Victoria Column. He served during the Boer War as a Lieutenant in the Royal East Kent Yeomanry and was mentioned in despatches. In 1914 Summers volunteered himself and his motor car for service with the Royal Naval Division in Belgium and France, there being a chronic shortage of transport at this time. He was Adjutant of the Royal Marine Motor Transport Company which was formed in September 1914 and disbanded in August 1915. They were employed in transporting troops in every direction as the great move to cover the Channel ports was taking place, and they were very active during the 1st and 2nd battles of Ypres, at Aubers Ridge and at Festubert. Two of its officers were decorated, Captain H. M. Leaf, R.M., with the D.S.O., and Captain Frank Summers with the D.S.C. After serving in France, Summers went to the Dardanelles with the Royal Naval Air Service, probably in armoured cars. His Royal Marine commission was terminated on 27 March 1916, when he transferred to the Army as a Major in the Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps, cover name for the first tank unit, and which later became known as the Tank Corps. He trained and led the original “D” Company of tanks in the attack on Flers-Courcelette on the Somme, 15 September 1916, the first ‘official’ occasion on which tanks were used in the War. However, one of Summers’ “D” Tanks had carried out a lone reconnaissance on the day before, so there can be no doubt that it was one of his tanks that was the first ever to go into action. On 19 November he was in command of three tank companies in the attack on Cambrai. Although the award of his D.S.O. in January 1917 does not carry a citation, there can be little doubt that it was made in recognition of his services on the Somme. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in the Tank Corps in November 1916 and commanded the 6th Tank Battalion from January to December 1917. Later in the War he served with the British Military Mission in Washington and lecturing at the War College on tank tactics. Whilst in Washington he met with the young Dwight D. Eisenhower, also a tank specialist and destined to become 34th President of the U.S.A.
The outstanding Second War North Russian Convoy ‘PQ 17’ D.S.O. and Lloyd’s Bravery Medal group of eight awarded to Captain Augustus Banning, Merchant Navy, Master of the Rescue Ship Rathlin which, during the course of the War, escorted 60 convoys and rescued over 600 survivors Distinguished Service Order, G.VI.R., silver-gilt and enamel, reverse officially dated 1942, with integral top riband bar; British War and Victory Medals (Lieut.

London Gazette 29 September 1942: ‘For services during North Russian Convoy PQ17 in July 1942.’ Lloyd’s Medal for Bravery at Sea Lloyd’s List & Shipping Gazette 31 August 1943: ‘Captain Augustus Banning, Master, R.S. Rathlin, and Captain Owen Charles Morris, Master, R.S. Zamalek. These two vessels were in a North Russian convoy. Throughout numerous attacks by enemy aircraft with bombs and torpedoes the fortitude, courage and seamanship of these Masters were of the highest order, and it was due to them that both ships were brought safely through. The guns were used to such good purpose that three of the enemy were destroyed, and between them the two ships rescued over 200 survivors from other vessels.’ In the opening years of the 1939-45 war thousands of merchant seamen lost their lives through enemy action. Hospital ships could not accompany convoys as such ships had to be lighted at night, and would have betrayed the convoy positions. The solution was Rescue Ships, Merchant Navy vessels of about 1,500 gross tons, mostly from coastal trade. Their low freeboard enabled them to get men more easily over the side. They could steam at 11 or 12 knots and so work astern of a convoy and regain station afterwards. These small ships were commanded and manned by Merchant Navy personnel; each carried a naval medical officer and a sickberth attendant, and was fitted with a hospital and operating theatre. The life-saving equipment included rescue boats, Carley floats, float nets, scrambling nets, booms grab hooks and hoists. Twenty-nine Rescue Ships were commissioned during the war. Nothing deterred them from their hazardous duty; U-boat packs, enemy aircraft and surface ships, or the worst gales, ice and snow storms of the North Atlantic and the ‘Murmansk Run’. Six of them were lost or sunk. They escorted 757 convoys and rescued 4,194. Of the many awards to the brave men of the Rescue Ships, there were only two D.S.O.’s - those awarded to Captains Banning and Morris, both for the infamous North Russian convoy PQ17. It was to convoy PQ17, a designation that was to become world famous, that the first Rescue Ships were allocated. They were the Rathlin (Capt. A. Banning), Zaafaran (Capt. C. K. McGowan), and Zamalek (Capt. O. C. Morris), and the inclusion of three such ships in one convoy was evidence of the Admiralty’s concern for the safety of the personnel of the 35 merchant ships which it was intended should sail in it. Augustus Banning, born at Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire, was a Lowlander, and being of medium build and height was known to his friends as ‘Wee Banning’. Besides being a fine seaman, he was an authority on the life and works of Robert Burns. He had been for many years with the Clyde Shipping Company, and had gained his Extra Master’s Certificate. He was in command of the company’s ship Beachy when she was bombed and sunk on 11th January 1941. He was rescued by a trawler, and could only be given first-aid for a broken leg, so he suffered thereafter from a limp. On 1st July the convoy was sighted by a German reconnaissance aircraft and over the next two days the convoy was subjected to sporadic, but unsuccessful, attacks. On the 4th July a lone Heinkel torpedo bomber dived out of the clouds and torpedoed the U.S. ship Christopher Newport. The Zamalek was quickly on the scene and rescued 47 members of her crew of fifty, three men being killed when the torpedoes hit. All day long aircraft circled the convoy, keeping the defenders on the alert, and in the evening they struck. Doctor Wilkins was standing on the deck of the Rathlin at the time. ‘At about 1800 hours the circling German planes were suddenly joined by between thirty and forty Heinkel torpedo bombers which approached at tremendous speed a few feet above the sea on the starboard quarter. All our guns went into action and a terrific barrage was put up by the convoy, which forced the aircraft to turn to port, but did not prevent them from firing their torpedoes into the heart of the convoy. The leader pressed home the attack in a very gallant manner, passing straight down the lines of the convoy and being shot down in flames. Two torpedoes passed ahead of us, one actually under our bows, and three astern.’ Despite the determined way in which the attack was delivered, only three ships were hit. These were the British Navarino, the American William Hooper, and the Russian tanker Azerbaijan. The Zaafaran picked up thirty survivors from the Navarino, while the Rathlin recovered forty-four from the William Hooper and nineteen from the Navarino. Eleven more of the William Hooper’s crew were rescued by the Zamalek. Without the presence of the Rescue Ships there can be no doubt that all of these men would have perished in the freezing Arctic seas. It was late that evening, just as the three Rescue Ships were rejoining the convoy on completion of their work, when a signal was received from the Admiralty ordering the convoy to scatter. The receipt of the order came as a terrible shock to the morale of the crews of the merchantmen, and especially to those in the Rescue Ships loaded with survivors. They saw the cruisers and destroyer section of their escort disappearing at high speed over the western horizon without being aware of the reasons which had prompted such drastic action. Chief among these, it later transpired, was the presence in the area of the German battleship Turpitz. Without their Royal Navy escort the convoy had no option but to scatter and throw themselves at the mercy of marauding U-boats, as well as attacks from the surface and the air. Thus, PQ17 which on the evening of 4th July had been a coherent body of ships steaming eastward in orderly array, became thirty independent vessels engaged in what was to prove a hopeless and costly sauve qui peut. In accordance with the instructions laid down for such an emergency, the Rathlin headed north towards the ice-barrier at her best speed, while the other ships of the convoy followed the divergent courses laid down for them, before resuming the course which would take them to Archangel. On the 6th July Rathlin encountered the United States freighter Bellingham, and the two proceeded in company, many times having to alter course to avoid running into ice. The following day the two ships encountered large formations of ice barring their path to the southward, and they were obliged to take a course which inevitably took them back into the danger area. All day long distress signals from ships and boats’ radio sets were intercepted, many from vessels sunk several hundred miles from the nearest land. It was not long before the Rathlin and her big escort were sighted by a patrolling Focke-Wolf Condor, and it attempted to bomb them. ‘The pilot must have felt sure he could deal with us himself’...
