Above the breast pocket are medal ribbons for the Military Cross with rosette for 2nd award bar, 1914 star, British War medal and Victory medal with MID oakleaf. Officers cloth lined interior to the tunic. Remains in excellent overall condition showing just minimal wear.Major Arthur Rogerson was awarded both the Military Cross and the second award bar for combat operations with the Tank Corps. The Tank Corps book of honour gives the details of both the awards. The first awarded for action during the battle of Cambrai in 1917, recommendation as follows, “2nd Lieutenant Rogerson, Arthur, H Battn Awarded the M.C – For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty while in command of a section of tanks at Fontaine on November 23, 1917. This officer was in the leading tank which entered the village. Finding that the infantry were unable to follow, he took his tanks back and, getting out, sought the O.C Infantry concerned. He again advanced into the village, but the infantry were still unable to follow. He dealt with various machine-gun emplacements and strong points in the village and again returned to the infantry. He walked along the line to see the officer in command and found that the infantry were about to consolidate the line then held. At this time he found that the tank in which he was riding was short of petrol; he had some spare tins on the tank and, accompanied by one of the crew who volunteered, they proceeded to fill the petrol tank, which is on the outside of the tank, the whole time being subject to machine-gun and rifle fire. He again went forward and covered the consolidation of the line. This officer showed a total disregard for his personal safety and set a fine example to his men.”The recommendation for the second award bar to the Military Cross is as follows, “T.Lieut (A/Capt) Rogerson, Arthur MC. 8th Battn. Awarded bar to M.C. – During the operation of August 8, 1918, South of Morocourt, Capt Rogerson displayed conspicuous courage and skill in maintaining touch with his section of tanks, going on foot, under heavy machine-gun fire, from one to another, directing their operations in front of the infantry until his objective was taken. While the line was being consolidated, all his tanks received direct hits whilst patrolling in front. He calmly rallied the surviving members of the crews and led them back to the infantry line. Throughout the action Captain Rogerson showed fine judgement and complete disregard for personal danger.” We could only find two officers of the 8th Battalion Tank Corps which were awarded a bar to the Military Cross. We have attributed the tunic to Major Rogerson, as he from what we can find, served with the Royal Fusiliers before joining the Tank Corps as an officer. Only question mark is that his MIC card states landed in France in 1915, so in theory would not have had the bar to the ribbon for the 1914 / 1914-15 star, maybe added incorrectly at one time? Also not confirmed is the MID and the two wound stripes. But everything else leads to this attribution.
