The medals have been court mounted for display. They remain in good overall condition. The MM was an immediate award and the citation was as follows, “On the night of 14/15 Sep 44 Hav Pokar Ram was the Hav of No1 Pl, “B” Coy 4.2” Mortars, 6th Rajputan Rifles, in support of 2 CAMERONS. The Bn was engaged upon an attack upon ZOLLARA (8580), and operating in an area known in detail to the enemy and constantly subjected to heavy shelling. In order to minimise the limitations imposed by the short range of the 4.2” mortar, it is the policy in this Pl always to bring up the mortars as close behind the fighting troops as possible, and this more often than not involves working under fire. On the night of 14/15 Sep 44 the Hav was ordered to set up his mortars in positions less than a 1000 yards behind the start line of the attacking infantry. The area was under shell fire at the time but, on his own initiative and with no regard for his own personal safety, the Hav put each team in position, mounted all the aiming posts himself, although this involved protracted exposure, and by his splendid personal example so sustained the heart of his teams that they went to work with parade ground precision. Throughout the operation, and under continued shelling, the Hav moved from team to team, ignoring the danger to himself in order to direct and encourage his men. The support given by this Pl to the Bn in this attack was a valuable contribution to its success and there is no doubt that the platoon’s efficiency was largely due to the courage and skill of this Hav, working in the open with shells often bursting close to him, and to the faith in him and determination to stint nothing in the fulfilment of their duty with which his wholly admirable conduct inspired the members of his platoon. After the operation the Army Commander stated in a congratulatory message that its success greatly assisted the Army’s advance.”

At all times he has shown the utmost devotion to duty. No conditions either of machine gunning or shellfire have ever deterred him from the task of getting his guns into the most advantageous position. He has shown himself equally impervious to the effects of fatigue. In particular he distinguished himself in the Battle of Munassib, September 42, when he was detached under command 6 Queen's. He was three days in this position, during which time two of his Nos. 1 and two other soldiers were wounded, but at all times he was actively employed in going round his guns encouraging his men and reconnoitring better positions. Finally he was himself wounded but refused to be evacuated until he had reported to his Battery Commander and arranged for his relief. Altogether his conduct during the whole period has been of the highest and has been a great inspiration to his men” Harding continued to serve with the unit once he recovered from his wounds, he served throughout the campaign in Italy. He left the army in 1946.

Flight Sergeant Mayo’s handwritten diaries which go up to 4th March 1945. Flight Sergeant Mayo’s original medal forwarding box remains in the case.

He participated in a number of the raids at the end of the war on the heavily defended German targets.

He became a member of the Caterpillar club due to bailing out of his aircraft on Thursday 7th December 1944, he records the account in his log book and his personal diary, where he appears to be over the moon that he was given “two pints on the house!”.

Truly wonderful time capsule grouping.
