London Gazette 11 January 1918; Commonwealth of Australia Gazette 23 May 1918. Recommendation states: This man displayed great devotion to duty and courage during the attack on Polygon Wood on 26th Sept. 1917. On the night of 26/27th he took a Lewis Gun out to an exposed position between two companies and captured an Officer & 5 men of the enemy, bringing them into our lines. His coolness was very noticeable throughout the engagement. Frank West was born in Greys, Essex, England. Living in Australia and a Contractor by occupation, he attested for the Australian Imperial Force on 2 March 1916, aged 32 years, 7 months. With the 55th Battalion Australian Infantry, he proceeded to France in November 1916. West was wounded in action on 10 March 1917, suffering a gunshot wound to the left shoulder, and was invalided to England. Returning to France and rejoining his unit in June 1917, he was awarded the Military Medal for his bravery in action on 26/27 September at Polygon Wood.

Corporal West returned to France once more in early 1919 and as a Temporary Serjeant was attached to the Australian Burials and Graves Registration Detachments. Returning to England in April 1919 he embarked for Australia and was demobilised in July 1919. Frank West died on 19 April 1957.

A Second World War 1940 operations M.M. group of six awarded to Company Sergeant-Major W. Whittaker, Royal Army Service Corps Military Medal, G.VI.R. (T-92503 Cpl. W. Whittaker, R.A.S.C.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, good very fine and better (6) £800-1000 M.M. London Gazette 27 September 1940. Walter Whittaker was later taken P.O.W. and held at Stalag 18A at Wolfsberg, Karnten.
A Second World War B.E.F. 1940 operations M.M. awarded to Lance-Corporal W. H. Stout, Kings Own Regiment, afterwards Kings Royal Rifle Corps Military Medal, G.VI.R. (3709824 A. Cpl. W. H. Stout, Kings Own R.), re-pinned suspension claw and one or two edge bruises, otherwise good very fine £1000-1200 M.M. London Gazette 20 December 1940. The original recommendation states: During an enemy attack at Bourghillis on 27 May, Private Stout went out across the open under heavy fire and single handed brought in a wounded man, whom he then carried on his back, himself crawling for 400 yards down a shallow communication trench. He left the wounded man under cover and crossed the open again under heavy fire to find a motor transport vehicle, and to this he, still single-handed, safely conveyed the wounded man. Throughout the action he set a high example of courage and devotion to duty. Having enlisted in the Kings Own Regiment in March 1931, Stout transferred to the Army Reserve in April 1938. Recalled to the 5th Battalion on the renewal of hostilities, his unit joined the B.E.F. as of 126 Infantry Brigade, 42nd (East Lancashire) Division, in which capacity he was awarded his M.M. for the above cited deeds. He subsequently transferred to the Kings Royal Rifle Corps in November 1941.
A very rare Second World War Chindit operations M.M. group of six awarded to Sergeant C. McCluskey, Black Watch, a veteran of Crete and Tobruk who was twice wounded in the act of winning his M.M. in Burma in June 1944 Military Medal, G.VI.R. (2752845 Sjt. C. McCluskey, Black Watch); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; Burma Star; Defence and War Medals, minor double-stamping to unit on first, some contact wear but generally good very fine or better (6). £2500-3000 M.M. London Gazette 4 January 1945. The original recommendation states: On 10 June 1944, Sergeant McCluskey was ordered to take two infantry sections from his platoon and carry out an offensive patrol in the valley east of the Kysenlei Pass. The patrol encountered enemy in the position in an unnamed village near Kontha and came under heavy and accurate fire, which wounded Sergeant McCluskey and caused other casualties in the patrol. In spite of his wound, however, Sergeant McCluskey retained full control of his small force and hotly engaged the enemy, and only when it became apparent that the enemy was present in considerably superior force did he start to organise a withdrawal. This he did with inspiring coolness and disregard for his personal safety going from one section to another and organising the evacuation of our wounded. While engaged on this task, Sergeant McCluskey was again severely wounded, and although in considerable pain, continued to retain full control of his force. Sergeant McCluskey had for some weeks been in command of a platoon and has on many occasions shown himself to be an outstanding leader, while his conduct on 10 June was beyond all praise. He has previously served with distinction in the Carrier Platoon in Crete and Tobruk. Charles McCluskey was born in Cumbernauld, Dumbarton in January 1914 and enlisted in the Black Watch in June 1932, direct from the Territorials. Originally posted to the 1st Battalion, he transferred to the 2nd sometime before the outbreak of hostilities, and saw action in the Carrier Platoon in Crete and Tobruk, prior to joining Order Wingates Chindits in Burma in March 1944. The following extracts, taken from The Black Watch, by Philip Howard (part of the Famous Regiments series), neatly summarise the actions and experiences shared by McCluskey and his comrades in the 2nd Battalion: Crete In May 1941, after a tremendous battering by dive-bombers, the sky suddenly filled with puffs of thistle-down. There was a gasp of amazement, and a moments hush along the whole Black Watch position. It was the first big parachute invasion in history. The Black Watch picked off the German paratroops as they fell, like plump pigeons. But for the next ten days more and more were dropped, prudently behind the mountains now, and out of range of Heraklion. The Battalion hung on grimly by its finger-nails, in isolated pockets unable to move by daylight, except for the piper who always played Reveille around the airfield after the dawn air raid. At last London decided to evacuate the island. At midnight the Highlanders crept down to the beach to the cruisers waiting to ferry them away. They had a terrible journey to Alexandria, dive-bombed and torpedoed all the way through the narrows at the eastern end of Crete. More than 200 of the Black Watch were killed on the voyage. A year later the Commanding Officer of the first German parachute battalion dropped at Heraklion was captured in Libya. He told his interrogators: My first surprise was when I found the position held. The second was when I discovered who the infantry were. The battle continued with great ferocity for two days. The Black Watch never surrendered. Had it been any other regiment, any other, all would have been well. I had but 80 men left of my 800, no food, little ammunition; our food was being eaten by the Jocks. Tobruk Next the Battalion was put into Tobruk to relieve the Australians, who had been besieged in that bull-dogged citadel for six months. The short dusty perimeter was defended by wire, mine-fields, and subterranean galleries. Dismembered vehicles and litter lay everywhere. The big German gun called ôBardia Billö barked and boomed over the fortress. In November the Battalion broke out of Tobruk on a sortie to link up with the Eighth Army advancing from Egypt. The plan was far more complex than the things which the Black Watch had been asked to do in old-style battles of far-off forgotten wars. But for once the Highlanders had been given a generous ration of infantry tanks. In fact the tanks lost themselves in the flat, featureless desert, in which the only landmarks were tangles of wire. And there was plenty of wire around to confuse the issue. So the Black Watch had to go in alone with the bayonet, as they had been doing ever since Fontenoy. The pipers played the Battalion in with ôHighland Laddieö, the regimental march, and ôThe Black Bearö. This last tune has a pause for a yell at intervals, and is traditionally played when a final effort is needed from tired men. Two hours later 8 officers and 60 men were left to take the final objective out of 32 officers and 600 men who set off from the Start Line. A Gunner Major wrote after the battle: I class this attack of the Black Watch as one of the most outstanding examples of gallantry combined with high-class training that I have seen. Not one of us who was there will forget such supreme gallantry. Burma and the Chindits Over on the other side of the world, the 2nd Battalion had become guerillas themselves - Chindits dropped for long range penetration beyond the Chindwin. The Battalion was split into two columns, numbered, inevitably, 73 and 42. They were flown into blind green jungle in March 1944, and for the next six months skirmished, and marched, and survived the monsoon, the steaming heat, and accidents by flood and field. It was probably the most unpleasant terrain for fighting into which the Black Watch had ever been plunged, worse even than the fever-swamps of the West Indies in the eighteenth century, or the dense jungles of Kandy. They were gnawed by starvation and disease. In one month alone 70 men died of typhus. It was a dripping world where clothes were never dry, and leeches had to be stripped from bodies at night. Tracks were often waist-deep in water and mud. Leather girths rotted on mules. A 10-mile march took four days. And once it took two days to haul their tottering half-dead bodies to the top of a four-mile pass. Most of the actions were small and untidy - the general strategy of the Chindit campaign lost direction after the death of Wingate. In May, at an ambush to cover the evacuation of ôWhite Cityö, 200 Black Watch scattered 1,200 Japanese. In August the last emaciated remnants charged and captured the village of Labu with the bayonet, played in on pipes specially dropped by parachute for the occasion. They were then flown back to India to recuperate. And of McCluskeys individual heroism near Kontha in June 1944, The Black Watch & The Kings Enemies states: There were reports, however, that the Japs were in various villages below the pass; and it was in one of these, Kontha, that the second patrol was sent. It consisted of a weak platoon under Sergeant McLuskey. Leaving at 8 a.m. on 10 June, he approached Kontha and was engaged by fire. The paddy round the village was three feet under water, but he took up his position in elephant grass and returned the fire with Bren guns and grenades from a cup discharger. As the enemy began to work round them, the patrol withdrew, having had one man killed and several wounded, but having got their information. They returned with their wounded at 6 p.m. The difficulty of keeping weapons in a working condition in circumstances such as these may be imagined.
A Second World War North Africa operations M.M. group of five awarded to Sergeant W. A. Evans, Royal Artillery - who was originally recommended for a D.C.M. for his gallant deeds in an anti-tank unit in April 1943 Military Medal, G.VI.R. (1064397 Sjt. W. A. Evans, R.A.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star, clasp, 1st Army; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, minor contact marks, good very fine or better (5) £800-1000 M.M. London Gazette 22 July 1943. The original recommendation - for a D.C.M. - states: Sergeant Evans is Troop Sergeant of K Troop, 88th Anti-Tank Battery, 14th Anti-Tank Regiment. Two guns of K Troop were ordered into action on Sidi Amellah (?) ridge during the morning of 29 April. The route for the Troop was through a minefield, and then over an open slope which was exposed to shell and small arms fire. The position was just below and defiladed by the lip of the top of the ridge, firing backwards. The guns which should have covered the top of the ridge were either destroyed or unable to occupy the selected positions because of accurate machine-gun and mortar fire. Tanks were reported on the far side of the ridge. It was necessary to manhandle the gun over the crest of the ridge. Sergeant Evans collected some infantry and assisted to manhandle the gun over the top of the hill onto the forward slope which was in full view of the enemy. Enemy tanks were engaged by the gun and two tanks were destroyed in three rounds. Just after this gun opened fire, Sergeant Evans and the infantry he had collected manhandled the second gun on to the crest and the gun opened fire and destroyed a tank. Early in the tank attack, the Troop Commander had been wounded, and Sergeant Evans took over command of the guns. He collected the infantry to assist in manhandling, helped load the guns, and later conducted the most dangerous operations in order to get the guns and ammunition under cover. William Alfred Evans was a native of Rotherham.
A Second World War North Africa operations group of four awarded to Lance-Sergeant W. F. Davey, Royal Artillery Military Medal, G.VI.R. (791729 L. Sjt. W. F. Davey, R.A.); 1939-45 Star; Africa Star; War Medal 1939-45, M.I.D. oak leaf, good very fine and better (4) £800-1000 M.M. London Gazette 18 February 1943. The original recommendation states: This Sergeant Fitter has done some magnificent work both in maintaining the Batterys vehicles and recovering vehicles from dangerous country in front of our O.Ps. On several occasions, he has worked on abandoned vehicles under heavy shell fire until he has been able to drive them back into our lines. On one occasion, in the last campaign, he continued to work on a broken down portee while in the middle of a tank battle. This N.C.Os consistent courage, cheerfulness and complete disregard of his own safety has been an outstanding example to the other men in the Battery, and he has been responsible for saving a large number of vehicles from either falling into the enemys hands or being destroyed. William Frederick Davey was decorated for his services in 3rd Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery, a unit of the famous 7th Armoured Division, the ôDesert Ratsö, in the period leading up to October 1942. He had earlier won a ômentionö for gallant and distinguished service in the Middle East (London Gazette 9 Sept 1942 refers), on which occasion he was originally recommended for the B.E.M. In November 1941, a troop of the regiments guns under 2nd Lieutenant G. W. Gunn, attached to the Rifle Brigade, participated in the famous action at Sidi Rezegh, Gunn being awarded a posthumous V.C. - with the position under attack from 60 tanks, he personally manned his last operational gun on a burning portee, alongside the only Sergeant of crew left, and managed to destroy two more tanks before falling shot through the forehead.
A rare and impressive Palestine 1947 operations B.E.M. awarded to Gunner F. D. Keillor, Royal Artillery, for great gallantry in responding to a terrorist attack in Haifa - severely wounded by two through and through revolver shots fired at close range, and in great pain, he nonetheless drove his wounded comrades in a jeep to the nearest hospital British Empire Medal, (Military) G.VI.R., 2nd issue (14148108 Gnr. Frederick D. Keillor, R.A.), minor official correction to surname, nearly extremely fine £800-1000 B.E.M. London Gazette 2 July 1948: In recognition of gallant conduct in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner. The original recommendation states: On 12 December 1947, at about 1300 hours, Gunner Keillor was driving a jeep along Herzl Street, Haifa, proceeding north in the direction of Acre. An officer, together with two other gunners who were acting as escorts to the party, were also travelling in the vehicle. Opposite the New Cinema, the jeep was stopped in a small traffic jam. At this moment two or three dissidents, believed to be Jews, came out of a side turning and, at point blank range, fired at them with revolvers. All were hit several times and seriously wounded; one of the escort later died after admission to hospital. Gunner Keillor received a through and through gun shot wound of the right upper arm and a through and through gun shot wound of the left shoulder. Despite the severity of his wounds, which had the effect of almost completely paralysing his arms, and of causing him very considerable pain, Gunner Keillor drew his revolver to return the fire but the attackers, in keeping with their character, had disappeared. One effect of the firing was completely to clear Herzl Street of all traffic, shoppers and pedestrians. No one, therefore, either Jew or Arab, came forward to render assistance to the wounded men though some could be seen peering fearfully at them from doorways and windows. The officer was seriously wounded, having been shot in the stomach, and the two escorts were already unconscious. Gunner Keillor, realising the necessity of reaching medical assistance as soon as possible, managed to start the engine and get the jeep going. By this time his right arm had become completely useless and little strength remained in his left. Nonetheless, however, he drove the jeep to a British Military Hospital, a distance of some two miles, along a route with many turns and steep inclines. The conduct of this young soldier throughout this incident is deserving of the highest praise. Though severely wounded, he showed that he had in him the best qualities of the British soldier of courage, determination and devotion to duty. Frederick Davidson Keillor was from Angus, Forfar. On the day he won his his B.E.M., Haganah terrorists launched a series of attacks against Arab and British targets in Haifa and Ramleh, over 20 people being killed and another 30 wounded - two of the former were British soldiers, and one of them, as cited above, a comrade of Keillor.
