Private Hugh McGuffin was awarded the Military Medal for his part in a trench raid on 10th October 1916, the official report details the action for which Private Mc Guffin was awarded the Military Medal for, “2nd Lieut A C MacCormick led rush with great gallantry and determination, and was shot through the head, falling inside German parapet mortally wounded. His last action was to turn and cheer on the men immediately behind him. No 9533 Sgt R Fleming at once organised bombing attacks along parapet to right and left. Many bombs fell into trench and much damage to enemy personnel must have been caused. Private H McGuffin fired at and threw a bomb at German who shot Lieut MacCormick; German believed killed. Severe enemy rifle fire reduced A Group to four effectives, whereupon Sergt R Fleming and Pte McGuffin got Lieut MacCormick out of trench with difficulty, and commenced withdrawal.” It continues to say that “A Group bombers behaved with coolness and effect. In one or two cases our men contrived to catch in the air the German wooden stick bombs and throw them back on the enemy”. Sergeant Fleming was also awarded the Military Medal for this action. Private McGuffin was later wounded in action during an attack on Beaucamp 24th April 1917.

Medals are mounted for wear. Accompanied by a leather case with gilt tooled initials and a re-print photograph of Mammatt in uniform. Medals remain in good overall condition. John Edward Mammatt, was born in March 1913. He was appointed a Midshipman in January 1931 and was serving as a Lieutenant in the destroyer HMS Hostile on the outbreak of hostilities in 1939. It was whilst serving with HMS Hostile that he saw extensive action off Norway and in the Mediterranean, right up until her mining and loss off Cape Bon on 23 August 1940. HMS Hostile arrived off Norway in March 1940, fresh from patrolling the South Atlantic, and was heavily engaged in the First Battle of Narvik in the following month, initially in a duel with the Roeder, which with HMS Hotspur she left ablaze, and latterly, alongside the HMS Havock, with the HMS Ravenfels, which was destroyed. That done, HMS Hostile escorted the battered HMS Hotspur to safety. The ship was then ordered to the Mediterranean, Serving in Mountbatten’s 5th Destroyer Flotilla, and was present when HMS Kelly was badly damaged by a torpedo on 9th May. Finally, in July, shortly before her demise off Cape Bon, she was present in the action fought off Calabria, known as the battle of Punta Stilo. Mammatt next joined the destroyer HMS Hereward, and was subsequently present in her during the withdrawal from Greece, for which he was awarded his Distinguished Service Cross. The award appeared in the London Gazette 11th November 1941, “For gallantry and distinguished services in operations in Greek waters”. HMS Hereward would finally fall victim to Stukas of 111/St.G.2 north of Plaka on 29 May 1941, during the evacuation of the island of Crete. David A. Thomas’ Crete 1941, The Battle at Sea, describes the event, “At 0625 when the force was in the middle of the [Kaso] Strait the Hereward on the port side of the screen came in for the next attack. The first few Stukas were evaded, but another, diving low, let go a stick of bombs, one of which exploded near her foremost funnel. She swung out of line, her speed crippled and she had 450 troops aboard. Admiral Rawlings was now faced with another grim choice, the second only in a few hours: whether to send another destroyer to assist Hereward or whether to abandon her to her fate. To detach another destroyer would invite almost certain destruction, for the main hope of salvation against these aircraft attacks lay in concentration. The fact that the coast of Crete lay only five miles away helped persuade Rawlings to leave the Hereward to her own devices. As the force continued on its way the Hereward was last seen heading slowly for the coast, her guns still engaging enemy aircraft. She was commanded by Lieutenant-Commander W. J. Minn, Cunningham’s Flag Lieutenant in the Hood. At length Hereward was abandoned two miles north of Plaka and all those on board who survived were taken prisoner - but for the intervention of an Italian Red Cross seaplane, which circled over the survivors as they came ashore, two Stukas intent on attacking them may well have increased her casualties. As it transpired, these were already of a dramatic nature, for having departed Heraklion earlier that day with 450 troops, and of course her own complement of around 150 officers and ratings, the Italian naval authorities could only muster a total 229 survivors by the time they issued an official statement.” John Edward Mammatt, who was among those taken prisoner, was duly incarcerated in assorted Italian P.O.W. camps at Sulmona, Padula and Gavi, prior to being moved to a Stalag at Spittal in Austria in September 1943. From there he was transported to Stalag IV B at Muhlberg in Germany and thence to Marlag Und Milag Nord, at which latter camp he was liberated at the War’s end. Mammatt, who was advanced to Lieutenant-Commander with seniority from October 1944, received his Distinguished Service Cross at an investiture held on 11 December 1945. He continued to serve in the Royal Navy after the war and was involved in minesweeping operations.
