After a staff appointment with 4th Indian Division he rejoined 25th Field Regiment in the Western Desert as a battery commander. In June 1942, at Tobruck, he was forced to surrender to the Germans after his battery were surrounded when their ammunition ran out. His gallantry was later recognised by the awarding of the DSO. He was sent to a POW camp in Italy and made several attempts to escape, finally doing so whilst being transported from the battle zone to a prisoner of war compound. He dispatched his guard and jumped from the vehicle which was travelling at 40 mph. Two days later he staggered into a German workshop and was eventually returned to the Italians as a POW. He escaped again, this time successfully, although he was wounded in the chest by a mine. After he recovered from his ordeal and his wound he went on to qualify as a parachutist and was dropped at Arnhem with 1st Airborne Division. After the war he continued his career in the army and in 1967 was appointed GOC Middle East Land Forces tasked with the withdrawal of British Troops from South Arabia, and it was the town of Aden which was to provide the defining moment in his military career.No.1 dress tunic - 42" chest, 19" shoulder width, 27" sleeve length; No.1 dress cap measures 23" around sweatband; No.2 dress cap measures 22" around sweatband; beret size 59, Athol Grey greatcoat 44" chest, 19" shoulder width, 24 1/2" sleeve length; khaki greatcoat 44" chest, 19" shoulder width, 28 1/2" sleeve length; evening cape 24 1/2" sleeve length.
