WW2 Grouping of Private John Waimsley 1st Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment with Hand Written Account of the Action in which he was Awarded the Military Medal for Saving a Wounded Comrade, Italy Campaign 1944, grouping consists of his Soldiers Service and Pay Book, Soldiers Release Book, Chorley town certificate of gratitude for war service, various wartime and post war documents and his original Field Message book with hand written notes and detailed description of his service and the action in which he was awarded the MM. The well written account gives in depth detail and his descriptive writing style captures the fear and true scale of the action, “To patrol objective DOG 23 men on patrol including Major Winn. We got within 5 yds of German Positions when A Coy patrol started a battle on objective Mouse on the right of our objective, on this battle starting Jerry stood to. Orders were given to me to attack the house which were occupied by Jerry Snipers or Suicide Squads. I gave out my orders for an attack, and then advanced towards the house, I peeped over the wall, and saw a Jerry in the second window up, he had is sights on me, I ducked and 3 or 4 bullets hit the wall above my head”. He goes on to describe “one of my men in my section Jock Hamilton had is leg hanging off, but I didn’t know until I came down the wall”. He mentions Major Winn’s Batman being shot in the head and killed, he describes the incident which gained him the MM as follows, “The Major told me to withdraw. I did and when I came down I saw Jock lieing there on his face. I asked the major if he was dead, he said no and then Jock said get me away from here, I got a rifle sling and fastened it round his waist, I left my Tommy gun and bren, and the major and I dragged him down the slope about 50 yards when a grenade came over, we ducked. We came across Maxwell who gave me a lift with Jock down to the main road where we came across L/C Logan, I got another rifle sling and fastened it round his ankles so that his right leg would not come off”. He later goes on to describe how sadly they had to leave Jock behind as they could not get his over the wall due to his wounds so they covered him over with a fly net. At the end of his account he states that he was awarded the MM along with Sgt Rawlinson and Major Winn received the MC. He goes onto give an account of an action on the Gothic line which is also well written and very descriptive. A very interesting grouping with a hand written account of an action from a private soldier which you so rarely see. The official citation for the Military Medal was as follows, “On 25 Aug 44 L/Cpl Walmsley was commanding a section in a patrol led by Major Winn in an attempt to reach the top of Fiesole Ridge. This feature is 400 meters high, and overlooks Florence from the N.E. When the patrol had got two thirds of the way up the hill the patrol came under heavy fire from enemy strong points. The patrol assaulted and wiped out two enemy Spandaus, L/Cpl Walmsley leading one of the assaulting sections with great dash. Owing to heavy casualties however, and the difficulties of the ground, which consisted of high terrace and walls, the patrol was unable to deal with the other strong points, and orders were given for it to withdraw. One of the wounded men was lying in a position swept by enemy machine gun fire. L/Cpl Walmsley, accompanied by Pte Maxwell, dashed to the wounded man, picked him up, and carried him some 200 yards down a precipitous slope negotiating a 12 foot wall en route. All the area was under Spandau fire, and the enemy were hurling grenades down the slope. L/Cpl Walmsley showed superb courage and devotion to duty in saving the wounded man, and throughout the day his fine leadership was an inspiration to his section”.
