Clements commanded a platoon which was given the task of occupying a position on the feature North of Grupont dominating the area in which the 12th and 13th Parachute Bns were operating. The patrol reached its objective by 0300 hrs and took up a position as ordered. During the following nine hours the platoon lay up in a wood on the feature, which was also occupied by the enemy, reporting enemy movements and inflicting casualties including the killing of the officers of a recce group which approached the position.At about 1200 hrs the platoon came under accurate fire from close range. Lt. Clements, although fully exposed to enemy fire, personally passed the necessary fire orders for the artillery to engage the area held by the enemy. The enemy then brought up at least one Tiger tank which engaged the area held by the platoon. By this time the platoon was coming under accurate fire from the rear as well as the front. Lt. Clements then decided that the platoon must withdraw. He organised the withdrawal down the very exposed slope of the feature.At the first ...rd he was wounded in the stomach. Although he could not move himself he continued to command the platoon, and issued necessary orders for the remainder to withdraw. Throughout this period the platoon had no food and was exposed to very severe weather conditions. It was entirely due to the fine leadership, determination and example of this officer that the platoon carried out its task and was able to withdraw when this task had been completed.'D.C.M. London Gazette 2.3.1944 No. 2564415 Sergeant Percy Priestly Clements, The Leicestershire Regiment.<

A Great War 'Battle of Loos' Casualty Group of Three to Private H.J. Toon, Leicestershire Regiment, Killed in Action, 13.10.19151914-15 Star (3586 Pte. H.J. Toon. Leic: R.); British War and Victory Medals (3586 Pte. H.J. Toon. Leic. R.), nearly extremely fine, with Great War Bronze Memorial Plaque, 'Herbert John Toon' (4) 3586 Private Herbert John Toon, son of Mr and Mrs John Toon, of 79 Frederick Road, Leicester; served during the Great War with the 1/4th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment, on the Western Front; he was killed in action, 13.10.1915; on the latter date the 1/4th Battalion were engaged in the attack on the Hohenzollern Redoubt as part of the Battle of Loos, 'the attack of the 138th Brigade was made with the 1/4th Leicestershire (Lieut.-Colonel R.E. Martin) and 1/5th Lincolnshire (Lieut.-Colonel T.E. Sandall) leading, followed by the 1/4th Lincolnshire and 1/1st Monmouthshire, the divisional Pioneer battalion, and the 1/1st North Midland Field Company R.E.... Having a shorter distance to go than the 137th Brigade, sheltered by the Hohenzollern from machine guns, and starting five minutes later, at 2.5pm, by divisional order so that its flank should be covered, it reached the Hohenzollern with less loss. But in passing towards Fosse Trench, heavy toll was taken of it by the machine guns in the Corons and Mad Point; nevertheless, Fosse Trench was reached and small detachments are reported to have gone beyond it and entered the buildings of the Corons. This success, however, could not be maintained, owing to the fact that the whole length of Fosse Trench was enfiladed from the Dump to Mad point, and on account of the very heavy losses that had been incurred, especially in officers, among the wounded being the Lieutenant-Colonels of the 1/4th Leicestershire, 1/4th Lincolnshire and 1/5th Lincolnshire. Any position beyond Hohenzollern was clearly untenable, as both flanks were exposed, and the attack, although reinforced by two companies of the 1/5th Leicestershire, came to a stop.' (Official History of the War, France and Belgium 1915, Volume 2, refers)On the latter date the 1/4th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment suffered 20 officers and 453 other ranks as casualties; Toon is commemorated on the Loos Memorial, Pas de Calais, France.Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

London Gazette 20.9.1945 Captain (temporary) Bernard Walter Briggs (129061), The Royal Warwickshire Regiment'In recognition of gallant and distinguished services at Arnhem.'The Recommendation states: 'Early on the night of D Day (Sep 17) Capt Briggs was given command of a mixed force of Bde HQ, Signals, RE and Ordnance personnel, and ordered to hold an important sector East of Arnhem Bridge. The position was difficult to hold as fruit trees and shrubs gave the enemy a covered line of approach.During the following two days the enemy repeatedly attacked this position with tanks and infantry in greatly superior numbers. They were driven back each time with heavy losses. The position was under continuous mortar fire. During the afternoon of D + 2 and morning of D + 3 the situation was made more difficult by the enemy setting fire to the houses Capt Briggs' party was occupying. In spite of this and resulting enemy infiltration he continued to hold the position until every house was burnt down.He then skilfully withdrew the remnants of his force to "A" Coy's position and continued to fight with them.Capt Briggs skilful and inspiring leadership was an example to all and it was undoubtedly largely due to his efforts that the most important and difficult position was held for so long.'M.I.D.

A Good I.G.S. to Private D.H. Mowbray, Leicestershire Regiment, Wounded by Gunshot Near Razmak, Northern Waziristan, 21.8.1939, Whilst Defending an Isolated Piquet Against Enemy Tribesmen who were Eventually Driven Off After Stiff Hand-to-Hand Fighting, and Later Killed in Action Whilst Serving With the Famous 'British Battalion' in Malaya, 21.1.1942India General Service 1936-1939, one clasp, North West Frontier 1937-39 (4857775 Pte. D. Mowbray. Leic. R.), extremely fine, in named card box of issue 4857775 Private Douglas Henry Mowbray, born North Ormesby, Middlesbrough, 10.11.1915; enlisted in the Leicestershire Regiment, 14.8.1935, and served with the 1st Battalion on the North West Frontier of India; wounded by gunshot to the right hand whilst on piquet duty near Razmak, 21.8.1939, the Regimental History described the action as follows: 'On the 21st August the Battalion ran into its most serious action in an operation against a large number of tribesmen known to be in the village of Bandiza, some 8,000 feet up in extremely rugged country. The hills were covered with thick holly-oak, which in places rose to ten feet. Razcol was to leave at dawn. The Battalion, commanded by Major C.H.V. Cox, M.C., marched at midnight to occupy the right-flank position of the commanding features of Green Dome and Bodari Sar. The Battalion spent four hours ascending secretly and silently a rocky goat-track, in single file most of the way.At 0730 hours the 3/10th Baluchis had gained touch with our left company, and operations against Bandiza village commenced. About midday the Brigade commenced to withdraw, leaving the Leicesters to cover this operation. Half an hour later the right piquet, a very exposed one, was fired on heavily from close range. Then the tribesmen rushed the piquet. A hand-to-hand encounter ensued. In the piquet position a number of the tribesman were killed, including their leader, the notorious Khan Gul. Three of the piquet were killed and four wounded'. For their gallant conduct in recovering the dead and wounded from this piquet, Lieutenant F.G.W. Walshe was awarded the Military Cross, Sergeant H. Blake the Distinguished Conduct Medal, and Lance Corporal L. Rawson and Private G.H. Smythe each received Military Medals.'The M.M. citation for Lance Corporal Rawson, who was in command of the piquet, adds further detail: 'On 21 August 1939 near Razmak in Waziristan, at about 1230 hours near Bandiza Village one of the Battalion's piquets commanded by Cpl Rawson was fired on heavily at close range, and enemy tribesmen rushed the piquet. A hand-to-hand encounter ensued during which three members of Cpl Rawson's section were killed and four injured. Although wounded himself, Rawson delayed to assist a wounded soldier and turned back to seize a rifle and with it killed one tribesman at point blank range and forced the other attackers to take cover. This enabled the rest of the section to get the wounded man away. His action inspired other of his men to behave most bravely'.On the outbreak of the Second World War, the 1st Battalion Leicestershire Regiment was still on overseas garrison duty in India having been assigned to the 15th (Indian) Brigade, 9th (Indian) Division. This brigade was later re-assigned to the 11th (Indian) Division, and moved to Penang in February 1941, from where it sailed for mainland Malaya. When Japan declared war, 7.12.1941, the 1st Battalion Leicestershire Regiment was in position at Jitra, and on the night of 10-11.12.1941 initial contact was made with the enemy. From that point onwards, the battalion was continually in action until the final surrender of Singapore. As a result of heavy casualties within the two British battalions of the Division, the 1st Battalion Leicestershire Regiment amalgamated with the 2nd Battalion East Surrey Regiment to form the famous 'British Battalion', 20.12.1941. Mowbray was killed in action, 21.1.1942, and i
