'The psychological reaction to lying beneath the mine at close quarters was distinctly unpleasant. It was obvious that if the clock started to run I could not hope to escape.’ (The recipient’s personal memoir Saints and Parachutes refers) The superb 1940 ‘London Blitz’ bomb disposal operations G.C. and King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct (Bar to G.C. recommendation) group of five awarded to Sub-Lieutenant J. B. P. Duppa-Miller, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, who was awarded the George Cross for his courage and skill in disarming a highly sensitive and dangerous magnetic mine in Barking Creek on 23 September 1940 during the Battle of Britain: ‘The mine was almost certainly alive and there would in any case be no possibility of running away, if that proved to be necessary’ Shortly afterwards, a parachute mine in a situation of considerably more significance ‘which was not only of the greatest importance to render safe, but called for the strongest nerve and a nearly superhuman devotion to duty’, was dismantled by Duppa-Miller and for this he was recommended for a Second Award Bar to his G.C. by the First Lord of the Admiralty but, having been informed that ‘there could be no such thing as a “Bar” to the Cross’ - a decision he thought very reasonable - instead received a King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct George Cross (Sub-Lieut. John B. P. Miller, R.N.V.R. 14 January, 1941.) an official replacement in its Royal Mint case of issue; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct oak leaf; Coronation 1953, unnamed as issued; Jubilee 1977, unnamed as issued, nearly extremely fine (5) £30,000-£50,000 --- Note: Duppa-Miller received his official replacement G.C. in January 1963 after the original had been irretrievably lost in Africa. G.C. London Gazette 14 January 1941: ‘For great gallantry and undaunted devotion to duty’ The original recommendation states: ‘Sub-Lieutenant Miller, who in civil life is a County Director of Education, is one of a small band of volunteers selected for the hazardous work of mine disposal. With Able Seaman Tuckwell he has disposed of some ten of these deadly instruments, disarming some and counter-mining others. In one case Sub-Lieutenant Miller, as he could not unscrew the bomb-fuse retaining ring, took the great risk of loosening it by hammering and so removed it. Two mines buried six and ten feet underground were disabled by these two. Both the clocks started to run while they were being dealt with. Their finest feat so far has been the disabling of a mine which had been submerged by three tides in Roding River which runs into Barking Creek. Each time a mine of this kind is submerged its deadliness increases. This mine had been correctly dropped; but at low water, when alone it could be handled, it lay on the mud at an awkward angle. Sub-Lieutenant Miller and Able Seaman Tuckwell worked up the creek on the last of the ebb in a small row-boat, and reached the mine by wading in the filth which one of London’s main sewers pours into Roding River. The bomb-fuse and primer holder were taken out there and then; if the clock had started there could have been no chance of escape. They then tried to drag the mine from the mud on to a quay, but the ropes broke. Later, they lifted it by crane and completed its disablement. Sub-Lieutenant Miller also disarmed a mine singlehanded in a dark passage in a London warehouse. Nobody knew where it was or would help him find it. This he did by smell after a difficult search. It was more or less buried but he was able, without unduly disturbing it, to unpack some lead roofing in which it had wrapped itself, and so get clearance to disarm it.’ He was in charge of the party which recently disabled 15 mines at Coventry.’ King’s Commendation for Brave Conduct London Gazette 27 June 1941: ‘For brave conduct and devotion to duty’ The original recommendation (for a Second Award Bar to the George Cross) states: ’Lieutenant Miller is an Officer possessing the highest qualities of courage, coolness and devotion to duty. He was recently awarded the George Cross and since then has dealt with further mines. Among those he undertook was one which was not only of the greatest importance to render safe but called for the strongest nerve and nearly a superhuman devotion to duty. On the night of 8/9th December 1940, a mine fell, practically undamaged, at the side of the permanent way with its tail propped up at about about 40 degrees to the horizontal against a part of the signal box outside London Bridge Station. The importance of this mine, quite apart from its effect on rail communications at the time, lay in the fact that, if it should explode, a viaduct carrying all the lines to Cannon Street, Charing Cross and London Bridge Stations would have been destroyed; also the electrically operated signal box would have been destroyed. The bomb fuze was underneath and there was only just room to get between the mine and the wall of the signal box to reach the fuze. It was too risky to attempt to pull the mine out to make it more accessible, in case of precipitating a disaster, so Lieutenant Miller carefully dug a hole below the fuze big enough to take the safety pressure horn. The pressure horn was then screwed on and the pressure admitted, but the usual click of the hydrostatic valve was not forthcoming. The keep ring of the fuze was started carefully, and it had hardly been moved before a noise was heard like the starting of the fuze clock. After twenty minutes Lieutenant Miller went back to investigate and found that the pressure horn had lost its pressure; this was taken off and found to have been leaking. Two further horns were obtained from the Admiralty; one was tested and then screwed on to the fuze; the click of the valve was again not forthcoming when the pressure was applied; however, Lieutenant Miller decided he had better get on with the job as quickly as possible. The spanner had scarcely been applied to the keep ring when the same noise, as of the clock of the fuze starting, was heard again. Again nothing happened so he returned to the mine again and found the horn had lost its pressure. Lieutenant Miller then considered that the hydrostatic valve of the fuze was leaking and that there was nothing to be done but to try to remove the fuze without safety arrangements and despite the fact that he considered that the clock had already started and stopped twice. He explained this to the station-master, returned to the mine and, utterly regardless of consequences, removed the bomb fuze and rendered the mine safe. On investigation it was found that the bomb fuze itself was leaking, consequently the pressure horn was quite useless as a safety arrangement. The mine was, therefore, in a highly dangerous state throughout the whole operation, including those periods when Lieutenant Miller thought the pressure horn was effective.’ John Bryan Peter Duppa-Miller (born Miller) was born in 1903 at Stechford, Birmingham, the son of a city council lawyer. A scholar at both Rugby School and Hertford College, Oxford, his subsequent spell with the Colonial Service in Nigeria was cut short by chronic Malaria and so he embarked on a career in local government education. On the outbreak of the Second World War, Duppa-Miller, an experienced yachtsman, opted to join the R.N.V.R and in August 1940 was sent to H.M.S. King Alfred, the training establishment at Hove. Here he soon learned of the urgent need for mine disposal officers and offered his services: ‘I felt for humanitarian reasons that I didn’t want to shoot at the enemy. One day there wa...
