The Malayan Emergency M.M. group to Lieutenant (QGO) Dilman Rai, 1st Battalion 7th Gurkha Rifles: Military Medal, Elizabeth II, 1918-62, (21135681 A/L/CPL. DILMAN RAI. 7. G. R.); War Medal 1939-45; General Service 1918-632, clasp, Malaya, (RFN.); General Service 1962-2007, 2 clasps, Borneo, Malay Peninsula, (LT. MM. 1/7 G.R.); Regular Army Long Service and Good Conduct, Elizabeth II, (LT. (QGO) M.M.), court mounted. Nearly extremely fine. M.M.: London Gazette 30/10/53 The recommendation submitted by Lieutenant Colonel J.D.F. Curling O.B.E. (13/05/53) states: During the past year this NCO has been constantly out on jungle operations. Whenever Terrorists have been encountered he has always been the first to close with them and has personally killed four and wounded a number of others. On 27th October 1952 this NCO, with four riflemen of his section, was in an ambush position in the LABU area of NEGRI SEMBILAN, when an armed terrorist appeared. Knowing the importance of capturing a Terrorist alive, he permitted the Terrorist to approach right up to him, and then exposed himself in order to attempt the capture The Terrorist however managed to draw a grenade and had to be shot before he could throw it. The calm action of this NCO in deliberately exposing himself at point blank range in order to achieve a capture was a fine example of cool, calculated courage. On 13th January, 1953, this NCO was on patrol in the SEREMBAN District of NEGRI SEMBILAN with two men of his section when two Communist Terrorists were encountered at a range of one hundred yards. The Terrorists opened fire and the NCO immediately charged them and killed one. Seeing the second Terrorist escaping he at once gave chase and and after a running fight over three hundred yards succeeded in killing the second. One Rifle, one Shot gun, ammunition, rations and important documents were recovered. The success of this operation was entirely due to this NCO's dash and personal courage in the direct face of enemy fire. The conduct of L/Cpl DILMAN RAI has at all times been of the highest order, and his courage and offensive spirit have been a magnificent example and inspiration to the men of his section and platoon.

A Glorious 1st of June Naval General Service Medal to Landsman Michael Kinsale, H.M.S. Valiant, two clasps, 1 June 1794, 23rd June 1795 (MICHL KINSALE.). Good very fine or better. At the seminal action of June 1st 1794, Admiral Lord Howe's fleet essayed a departure from the Naval doctrine of the day, by turning toward the enemy line and engaging at close quarters. Although Howe's orders were imperfectly executed by his captains, the British inflicted a convincing tactical defeat on the French. The 74-gun HMS Valiant was built at Chatham and launched in 1758. With a main armament of 30-24pdrs., she was -like all the other '74's' - a mainstay of the fleet throughout the second half of the 18th century. Her long service life involved several major refits, the last of which was completed in March 1794, just in time for her to see action at the Glorious First of June, the first fleet action of the French Revolutionary War. Acquitting herself well under Captain Thomas Pringle, she participated in the next major action against the French, at the Isle de Groix, on 23rd June 1795, before being sent to the West Indies the following year. After two lively encounters there, both of which resulted in enemy vessels captured or destroyed, she came home in 1799 and was laid up that autumn for use as a lazarette. Surviving another quarter-century, she was finally broken up in 1826 after a career spanning almost seventy years.

Harry Crewe Godley was born at Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland, 30th October 1861, Son of Major H.R.C. Godley 28th Regt (see lot **). He was in South Africa from October 1899 to January 1900, was mentioned in Despatches (L.G. 16 April 1901), and created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order (L.G. 19 April 1901) for his service in command of two Companies of the Northamptonshire Regiment in the defense of Enslin Railway Station in December 1899: "The D.S.O was awarded for the excellent service he rendered during the campaign, when he was left in command of a post with two companies of the Northampton Regt., to command Enslin Railway Station.......and defended it for nine hours against a force of from 900 to 1,000 mounted Boers with two guns, under Commandant Prinsloo, who made a suprise attack in order to destroy the line and capture the stores which were being guarded; and notwithstanding the very superior force of the burghers, the two companies....successfully resisted the attack until relieved by reinforcements.....when the enemy retreated." (Creagh and Humphris, 'The Distinguished Service Order 1886-1923')
