Humphrey Mark Wilson was born Williton, West Somerset in 1912. The son of Bernard William Wilson, whose medals are also in the sale. Humphrey was commissioned in the Indian Army on December 3rd 1933, as a Second Lieutenant. He subsequently transferred to the Norfolk Regiment and was promoted to Captain on September 3rd 1940. Captain Humphrey was awarded the Military Cross in 1945 for the following deeds; 'During the period February 1st to April 30th 45, this officer was outstanding on several occasions by his courage, his enthusiasm and his tirelessness. During the battle of Lingen on April 5th stiff fighting was met in house clearing for possession of the town. This offr was ordered to take temporary comd of a coy whose had been wounded and which had lost several cas. This coy's adv was held up by an enemy strong point from which three Spandau posns comd all approaches. Stalking fwd himself under point-blank fire from one of this Spandau's, he reached a point about 30 yds distant from which, with his rifle, he despatched the firer concerned. Moving around all his subunits, though under close-range fire most of the time, he quickly reorganised the coy for a further attack and instilled into them fresh confidence. Under his inspiring leadership, the flanking movement against this strong point met with overwhelming success. Yet again, during the battle of Brinkum on 15/16 Apr this offr's imperturbable cheerfulness and disregard of personal danger had a most marked effect on one of the coys. Which was temporarily checked by a strongly defended factory. Moving down with a fresh section of crocodiles, he made a recce from Op to Op, each time coming under short-range Spandau and sniper fire, so that the crocodiles could get off to the best possible start and be sure of the best routes to take in their advance. As a result of this, the attack took on a renewed turn of speed and opposition was shortly completely overcome. This officer has been 2IC of this Bn since D-Day. Throughout this period, he has never failed to show a degree of courage, unselfishness, of cheerfulness and spirit that have directly influenced several engagements in which the Bn has been involved'.. In the post-war years, he served in South East Asia and Palestine, earning a two-bar GSM. As a Major, he served in the Korean War and retired in 1961. Major Wilson died in 2003.
