A Second War ‘Advance through the Gothic Line’ M.M. awarded to Corporal S. Manock, Royal Signals, who was Mentioned in Despatches for his work at Cassino Military Medal, G.VI.R. (2346401 Cpl. S. Manock. R. Signals.) in named card box of issue, extremely fine £800-£1,200 --- M.M. London Gazette 20 September 1945: ‘For gallant and distinguished services in Italy.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘This N.C.O has been in charge of the line party from the River Garigliano. Mentioned in Despatches for his work at Cassino, he has, since that time, continued to set the highest example to his line team. During the advance through the Gothic Line countless instances occurred when it was necessary for line to be laid in daylight, under shellfire, and, indeed, enemy observation. On all these occasions Corporal Manock consistently took the major and most dangerous share of the work upon his own shoulders. During the time that HQ 1 Guards Brigade was at Fontanelice, the lines were continuously cut by shellfire; Corporal Manock, entirely on his own initiative, always proceeded in person to discover and mend the breaks and this although the shelling had seldom ceased. His devotion to duty and conscientious endeavours to keep communications at all times, were a source of inspiration to his team, and reflected courage of a high order.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 19 July 1945: ‘For gallant and distinguished services in Italy.’ Stanley Manock, a native of Levenshulme, Manchester, served during the Second World War as a Corporal with the Royal Signals. ‘Attached to an Infantry Brigade, he has, with a fellow signaller, laid more than 200 miles of telephone line since he went to North Africa in 1942. At Cassino they had a dreadful time. For three days they were under constant shell fire yet they kept open a phone line on the main road to Rome. His experience have been many and varied. Many times he has done his work under the worst conditions possible and yet by sheer courage and determination he has won through. All honour to him.’ (newspaper cutting with lot refers).

Donato action, 0490, a very strongly fortified enemy post in a house resisted many attempts to capture it for over an hour.

London Gazette 17 January 1946: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Burma.’ The original Recommendation, dated 15 May 1945, states: ‘This N.C.O. during the whole campaign has been a constant source of inspiration to his comrades in his company and his bravery and dash have been the subject of conversation amongst the tank crews. On 8 March 1945 Naik Mohammed Ashraf Khan was commanding his section which was acting as tank escort to a Troop of “A” Squadron who were supporting the Royal Berkshires. The leading infantry and the tanks came under heavy fire from guns, mortars, and light automatics and were forced to withdraw. Naik Mohammed Ashraf Khan seeing that some wounded had been left behind, called to some British Other Ranks to help him recover them. These men failed to understand, so the Naik entirely on his own initiative went forward alone under heavy fire and carried one of the wounded men back to safety He then went forward again alone and under heavy fire and brought back another British Other Rank. By this Naik’s courageous action, the lives of these two men were saved and his coolness and devotion to duty under heavy fire were of the highest order. Such action has been typical of his conduct throughout the campaign. His disregard for his personal safety, devotion to duty, and determination to close with the enemy have been of the highest standard and he has proved himself a first class leader in a Company which has done extremely well throughout. His conduct has gained the admiration of the men in my regiment.’

A post-War 1949 ‘Malaya operations’ M.M. awarded to Private H. McPhee, Seaforth Highlanders, who rushed to the aide of his officer during a Company Contact in North Johore, 12 November 1949, accounting for at least 1 ‘bandit’ and probably several more Military Medal, G.VI.R. (2824888 Pte. H. McPhee. Seaforth.) minor edge nicks, generally very fine or better £1,800-£2,200 --- M.M. London Gazette 21 March 1950: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Malaya.’ The recommendation states: ‘On the afternoon of 12th November, 1949, “B” Coy had a fierce encounter with a large force of bandits in a camp situated in overgrown rubber about 3 miles SW of the village of Chaah in North Johore. This was the first day of a full scale battalion operation in the vicinity of the Ma’Ckill Forest Reserve estimated to last for 7 days; the role of “B” Coy was to search a given area. On arrival in the area the Coy. Comd. took the Coy. a short distance into the jungle and there formed a temporary firm base while he himself went forward with an armed recce party of platoon strength to reconnoitre a locality where there was believed to be water for a permanent firm base. Pte. McPhee was one of those who was left at the temporary firm base with the remainder of the Coy. When the recce party had proceeded about a quarter of a mile forward of the Coy temporary firm base they bumped into the enemy in a very new and temporary camp in some overgrown rubber; they at once attacked the camp which is now known to have contained approximately 160 bandits. As they had no sentries on this occasion they were taken completely by surprise and were forced to put up a stubborn resistance to extricate themselves from the camp. A fierce battle ensued; the bandits counter attacked strongly and subjected the recce party who were in very open ground in some cleared rubber to very heavy fire. At this stage Pte. McPhee arrived on the scene with the first party of reinforcements from the temporary firm base. In the very early stages of the battle the Coy. Cmd. and 2 of the subaltern officers were killed. The only surviving officer, Lieut. Brown, was therefore left in command. Immediately Pte. McPhee arrived up, and acting on his own initiative, he made his way forward to Lieut. Brown and requested permission from him to take up a position on the left forward flank of the Coy. With complete disregard for his own safety he then doubled forward to this position, which was an extremely vulnerable one, and from it dominated the whole of the left flank. He remained in this position, firing away steadily whenever he saw any enemy movement, throughout the remainder of the battle which continued for a further hour and a quarter. He was completely unaffected by the heavy fire which he drew upon himself, and was extremely cheerful throughout the whole battle. He definitely killed at least 1 bandit and probably more. The initiative and bravery shown by Pte. McPhee were undoubtedly responsible for denying the ground on the left flank of the Coy. position to the enemy, and his cheerfulness and high morale were an inspiration and example to all those who were near.’ A picture of Hugh McPhee appears in the regimental journal Cabar Feidh for May 1950.
