A Second War B.E.M. awarded to Volunteer R. Juby, Home Guard, for his gallantry in attempting to save the life of the pilot of a Handley Page Hampden that had crashed and caught fire on the Nottinghamshire/Yorkshire Border on 27 September 1940 British Empire Medal, (Military) G.VI.R., 1st issue (Voltr. Richard Juby. H.G.) good very fine £240-£280 --- B.E.M. London Gazette 22 January 1941: ‘For gallant conduct in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘On 27th September 1940 an aircraft from the Royal Air Force Station at Finningley struck the ground near Misson and immediately burst into flames. The pilot, after being thrown from his seat, was caught by his parachute harness and remained hanging from the aircraft. Volunteer Juby, who immediately ran to the aircraft when it crashed and burst into flames, cut away the parachute harness and freed the pilot. He then carried him to the windward side of the aircraft. The pilot was later taken by ambulance to hospital but he died from the injuries he had sustained in the accident. Volunteer Juby disregarded personal safety and danger when he approached the burning wreckage and entered the flames to cut away the pilot's harness. Had it not been for the injuries which he had received in the accident, there is little doubt that Volunteer Juby's prompt action would have saved the pilot's life.’ Richard Juby served during the Second World War with the 3rd Battalion, Doncaster Group, Home Guard, and was awarded the British Empire Medal for attempting to rescue the crew of a Handley Page Hampden from 106 Squadron that had crashed near the village of Misson on the Nottinghamshire/ Yorkshire border at 21:25 hours on 27 September 1940.
