The original recommendation states: ‘Since its inception, Brigadier Turner has served as senior British representative in the Public Relations Division, S.H.A.E.F., first as Assistant Chief and then as Deputy Chief of the Division. In addition to his general Public Relations duties Brigadier Turner has had particular charge of the Film and Photographic Section. brigadier Turner’s work has throughout been of a very high order of excellence. Not only has he been outstandingly successful in maintaining harmony among all sorts and conditions of British correspondents but he has managed over a long period to compose the many and varied international differences inevitable in a Public Relations organisation of the nature of that set up for the recent campaign in North-West Europe. his untiring efforts and unfailing imperturbability have earned the respect of all with whom he has come in contact. The undoubted success of the Public Relations aspect of the operations can be attributed in large measure to Brigadier Turner’s devoted efforts.’ M.C. London Gazette 3 June 1918. american Legion of Merit London Gazette 8 November 1945. The White House citation, signed by Harry Truman, states: ‘Brigadier W. A. S. Turner, British Army, served from May 1944 to May 1946 as Assistant to the Director, and later as Deputy Director of the Public Relations Division, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force. He was instrumental in the preliminary planning for Public Relations activities in the invasion of North-West France and later organised and supervised the operation of film and photographic coverage of the campaigns in Western Europe. Through his tact, ingenuity and meticulous spirit of abnegation, he played an exemplary role in composing the many nationalistic difficulties in the allocation of war correspondents to ensure proportional representation and the establishment of equitable quotas throughout operations on the Continent. He contributed immeasurably to the efficient operations of the Public Relations Division and to the successful conclusion of the war against Germany.’ French Legion of Honour 30 October 1945 (Register No. 53003 refers). william Arthur Scales Turner was born in January 1890, the son of William Henry Turner of Leicestershire, and was educated at the Leys School and Trinity College, Cambridge. commissioned in the Royal Artillery in December 1911, he went out to France on 7 August 1914, where he served in ‘I’ Battery, R.H.A. until transferring to 2/’A’ Battery, H.A.C. at Langemarck in November 1917.

He was awarded the M.C., his unit’s history stating that it was ‘difficult adequately to express the admiration of all ranks of the Battery, and indeed of the Brigade, for this officer.’ Between the wars, Turner held a succession of staff appointments, was appointed Assistant Adjutant-General in February 1935 and was placed on the Retired List as a full Colonel in 1937. Quickly re-employed at the Public Relations Department of the War Office, he was appointed a Deputy Director in 1941, and served in a similar capacity at Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force 1943-45, work that was rewarded with a C.B.E., American Legion of Merit and French Legion of Honour and Croix de Guerre in 1945, following the successful conclusion of the North-West Europe operations. sold with original certificate of award and White House citation for the recipient’s Legion of Merit, both signed by Harry Truman, and the warrant for his Legion of Merit, dated at Paris on 30 October 1945. £1800-£2200

He was cycling from the town in the direction of Lower Hillmorton Road; and on reaching Whitehall Road noticed a run-away heavy horse, attached to a cart, the body of which was tipped and dragging along the road. The animal was galloping madly along the Lower Road, in the direction of the town. The Scout quickly dismounted his cycle, laid it aside, and, as the horse reached him smartly put into practice the Scout method he had been taught to adopt under such circumstances, caught the horse’s rein, and soon brought the excited animal to a standstill. A small crowd of onlookers immediately gathered, whom the Scout requested to lift the body of the cart. He then put right the disarranged harness, calmed the excited horse, and led it quietly back in the direction from which it had come until he met its driver, whom the horse had knocked down and slightly hurt in breaking away. The horse and cart were the property of Mr J. Durham, of West Street. It is highly probable that through this Boy Scout’s prompt and plucky action, serious damage to either person or property in the town was averted, and his performance on this occasion is highly creditable to both him and the troop to which he belongs’. second World War Medals in card box with forwarding slip; with riband bar and copied research. £180-£220
