of 3rd October 1986 ‘On 5th July 1985 a man arrived on the forecourt of a car sales company and discussed with Mr. Goodall the

purchase of a car. Mr Goodall took him on a test drive. The man then agreed to purchase the car but asked to be driven to a building

society in order to withdraw the cash for the payment. Mr Goodall drove him the short distance to the building society branch and

waited outside. Inside the building the man produced an automatic pistol, threatened a member of the staff and stole money. Mr.

Goodall drove him back, but became suspicious. At the car sales forecourt he stopped a passing police vehicle driven by Constable

Morrow. The man attempted to escape in a vehicle from the forecourt, but Mr. Goodall blocked his exit with his own car. The man

then attempted to hijack the police car, pointing his pistol at Constable Morrow. The Constable refused to releasee his vehicle and

reversed away. The man, holding the weapon in a threatening manner, attempted to enter various cars in a line of traffic but without

success. Mr. Goodall, together with other civilians and police officers chased him. From a distance of approximately twelve feet the

gunman fired the pistol in the direction o Constable Morrow. In a road, with no access for cars, Mr. Goodall, a police motor cyclist and

two other civilians, continued the pursuit. A second bullet narrowly missed them. Back in a vehicular road he fired again at Constable

Morrow’s car, and twice, more at the chasing group. Eventually Constable Morrow manoeuvred so as to be able to drive his vehicle

directly at the gunman. The man jumped backwards and fired yet again. Mr. Goodall closed with the gunman and struck him with a

metal bar with which he had managed to arm himself during the chase. The man fell back into a garden, Mr Goodall and Constable

Morrow, assisted by others, overpowered and disarmed him. Mr. Goodall and Constable Morrow displayed outstanding determination

and bravery of a high order when, despite having been shot at, they pursued and brought about the capture of the gunman. (2) Nearly

Submarine Commissioned Engineer's Order of the British Empire group awarded to Engineer Lieutenant L.V. Hauser,

M.B.E., D.S.M., Royal Navy, who served in the Adriatic with the submarine H2 in 1916, and with G3 in 1917 to 1918, being

later appointed the first Warrant Engineer of the coverted aircraft carrier submarine M2 in 1927. Order of the British

Empire, Member, M.B.E., 2nd type, Military Division; Distinguished Service Medal, Geo V bust to 272440 L.V. Hauser, Engine

Room Artificer 3rd Class, Submarine Service 1917. 1914-15 Star to 272440 L.V. Hauser, Engine Room Artificer 3rd Class, Royal

Navy. British War Medal and Victory Medal to 272440 L.V. Hauser, Engine Room Artificer 3rd Class, Royal Navy. 1939-45 Star

and War Medal 39-45, both unnamed as issued. Leonard Victor Hauser was born in Bethnal Green, London on 1st May 1892, and

was a scholar before he joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Artificer aboard the training establishment H.M.S. Tenedos from 14th August

1907, being then posted to H.M.S. Indus, the Mechanics Training Establishment at Devonport from 16th July 1910, and having passed

his training, was then rated as Engine Room Artificer 5th Class (Chatham No.272440) on 1st July 1911, being then posted to Vivid II

from 15th July 1911, before being posted aboard the battleship H.M.S. Implacable from 18th August 1911, followed by the battleship

H.M.S. Commonwealth from 14th May 1912, being appointed Acting Engine Room Artificer 4th Class on 1st July 1912. Hauser was

posted to Pembroke II from 18th October 1912, being then posted to the troopship H.M.S. Tyne from 21st November 1912, and

promoted to Engine Room Artificer 4th Class on 16th December 1913. Hauser was posted aboard the cruiser H.M.S. Eclipse from

26th February 1914, followed by the light cruiser H.M.S. Yarmouth from 14th April 1914, he was serving aboard her at the outbreak

of the Great War, when Yarmouth was on the China Station and later in 1914, she was involved in the hunt for the German commerce

raider S.M.S. Emden. In October that year she captured two German colliers. She returned to home waters in December 1914 and was

assigned to the 2nd Light Cruiser Squadron of the Grand Fleet, and in February 1915 to 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron. Hauser was

promoted to Engine Room Artificer 3rd Class on 1st July 1915. Hauser was most likely then drafted into the 'Service within the

Service', the Royal Navy's submarine service, being posted to the submarine base H.M.S. Dolphin from 23rd July 1915, he then

completed his training and was posted out to the Mediterranean to join the submarine depot ship H.M.S. Adamant at Mudros from

23rd August 1915. Adamant was at the time the depot ship for all Royal Navy submarines which were operating in the Dardanelles

and Sea of Marmora in support of the Gallipoli campaign, and Hauser may well have served aboard one of the later submarines to

make the passage through the heavily defended straights and into the Sea of Marmora. Hauser was posted aboard the submarine H2

from 10th November 1916, this vessel was at the time under orders to operate in the Mediterranean and Adriatic as replacements to the

ageing 'B' Class submarines, and as such Hauser who was appointed to H2 as an Engine Room Artificer 3rd Class and began

operations in Novemeber 1916. H2 was under the direct command of the depot ship Adamant, the flotilla being command by

Lieutenant Commander Charles G. Brodie, with H2 commanded by Lieutenant D.W. Fell. Adamant was still based at Mudros, and H2

was directed to Venice where she became the nominal depot ship there, with Fell being additionally appointed Senior British Naval

Officer at Venice. By June 1917 with some twenty or thirty patrols completed and a great deal of time wasted in harbour, Rear

Admiral Kerr, commanding in the Adriatic, was taken to task by the Admiralty in the following letter: 'Their Lordships' attention has

been drawn to the three 'H' Class submarines attached to the Italian Fleet at Venice. It has been noticed from several recent reports

from the Senior Officer that for a long period they have carried out no offensive operations and, although this was partly due to the

weather, it is not understood how they should have been continually prevented from movements to the extent reported. You are to

arrange to pay a visit to Venice and take such steps as may be practical to induce more active employment of the British submarines

against the enemy.' However Hauser was not there, having after only a short period, been transferred back to Dolphin from 20th

December 1916, and then joined the submarine depot ship H.M.S. Titania from 10th January 1917, and as such served with the Flotilla

operating out of Blyth on operations in the North Sea, with Hauser being posted aboard the submarine H.M.Submarine G3 from 1st

April 1917, being tasked to patrol the North Sea in search of U-Boats. However on 2nd September 1917 a narrow escape occurred in

which Hauser may well have distinguished himself. 'Another case of submarine ramming submarine occurred on September 2, 1917,

but this time it was near to tragedy. It was 6.30 on a wild morning, with a very heavy sea running, when G4 - Lieutenant Commander

Powell, sighted a German submarine. Both submarines dived immediately. The sea was so heavy as to make diving at periscope depth

almost impossible, so G4 went down to 80 feet. Two hours later, when she came to periscope depth for a look around, Powell caught a

glimpse of a submarine on the surface about 200 yards away. It was too close to fire a torpedo in that weather. The only hope was to

try to ram. G4's helm went over and her motors were put to full speed. During the next few moments , says Powell, I tried frantically to

get another sight of the enemy so as to correct my course, and, after an eternity which was probably about 15 seconds, the sea fell

away from the periscope glass and there, to my horror, was my old friend G3… I went hard to dive, full astern port and hard a-

starboard in an effort to clear her astern…. Another eternity, and then an appalling crash threw us off our feet and heeled the boat right

over. There was a cheer from the crew, who thought I had rammed a Fritz, but I felt physically sick… Providentially, the last minute

effort to turn G4 saved G3. G4 hit her just abaft the beam torpedo-tube space, where the G Class submarines had only a single hull.

Moreover, she missed G3's port propellor - the only propellor G3 had in action, having cracked her starboard main-shaft. As it was, the

collision made a jagged hole 9 feet long in G3's outer hull, while 8 feet of G4's bows were bent upwards and round at right angles.'

Hauser was decorated with the Distinguished Service Medal in the London Gazette for 2nd November 1917, this gazette being the

same one in which the legendary then Commander Max Kennedy Horton won the Second Award Bar to the Distinguished Service

Order, with Hauser receiving his award 'in recognition of services in submarines in enemy waters' with his award being in respect of

long and arduous service and successful action with enemy armed vessels. Hauser remained serving aboard G3 and operating out of

Blyth through to 18th October 1918 when he was posted back to Dolphin, before joining the submarine depot ship H.M.S. Maidstone

from 18th May 1919 and was posted aboard the submarine H.M. submarine H42 from shortly after her commissioning, she had been

commissioned on 1st May 1919. Hauser was promoted to Engine Room Artificer 2nd Class on 1st July 1919, being then transferred to

H.M. submarine H48 from 1st July 1920, he was then posted to Dolphin from 10th July 1920 and from 20th September 1923 was

exchanged to a commission, being appointed an Acting Warrant Engineer on 1st October 1923, he saw service with the submarine

depot ship Titania from January 1924 out in the Far East at Hong Kong, he was then confirmed as Warrant Engineer, and posted back

to Dolphin from 3rd August 1926, and from 8th March 1927 was posted to aboard the world's first submarine aircraft carrier

H.M.submarine M2. After the accidental sinking of M1 in 1925, M2 and her sister M3 were taken out of service and reassigned for

experimental use. Her 12-inch gun was removed, replaced by a small aircraft hangar, the work being completed in 1927. This could

carry a small Parnall Peto seaplane, specially designed for the M2, which, once its wings had been unfolded, could be lowered onto the

sea alongside by a derrick for take off. On landing, the aircraft was hoisted back onto the deck and replaced into the hangar. In October

1928, a hydraulic aircraft catapult was fitted, to enable the seaplane to take off directly from the deck. The submarine was intended to

operate ahead of the battle fleet in a reconnaissance role, flying off her unarmed seaplane as a scout. A photograph exists from July

1928 which shows the crew of the M2 with Hauser being identified seventh from the left front row - a copy of which exists with the

research. Having served as the first Engineering Officer of the recently converted experimental submarine M2 with the 5th Submarine

Flotilla, Hauser was then posted in a similar role to newly launched Rainbow Class submarine H.M. submarine Regulus from 1st

November 1930, joining as her first officer in this role. Incidentally the submarine M2 would be lost will all hands on 26th January

1932, and Regulus would be lost with all hands in December 1940 when in action against the Italian's. Hauser served with Regulus on

her first commission as part of the 1st Submarine Flotilla in the Mediterranean and was promoted to Commissioned Engineer on 1st

October 1933, being then posted back to General Service from January 1934, and he was posted to the destroyer H.M.S. Douglas with

the 19th Destroyer Flotilla, this vessel being the Flotilla Leader, and as such saw further service in the Mediterranean. On 1st January

1938 he was promoted to Engineer Lieutenant, and was then awarded the Member of the Military Division of the Order of the British

Empire in the King's Birthday Honour's List for 3rd June 1938 in respect of his long and distinguished service predominantly with

submarines. Hauser was posted to the destroyer and Portsmouth Flotilla Leader H.M.S. Exmouth from 26th April 1939, and was

serving as such at the outbreak of the Second World War, however he was not aboard her on 21st January 1940 when she was

torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-22 with the loss of all hands. Hauser needless to say saw brief wartime service,

though of an active form, hence his wearing of the 1939-1945 Star, and was then placed on the retired list on 1st May 1942, hence just

prior to his gaining entitlement to the Defence Medal which he missed out on. Hauser is still shown on the Retired List in 1955, and is

Believed to be 1 of only 11 MBE’s issued to the Women’s Legion. Elizabeth Mildred Shillington, born on 2nd January 1881 at

Glenmachan Tower, Ballymachan, Belfast to John Johnson Shillington and Annie Shllington. John Johnson Shillington a magistrate is

listed in 1893 as a founding member of the Ulster Defence Union. It is believe the Shillington’s can trace their history back to the

Norman conquest. Elizabeth joined the French Red Cross and travelled to France in December 1914 and worked in the motorised

kitchens providing food and help. It is through this action she was awarded the British War Medal and Victory Medal. At some stage

she became involved with the Women’s Legion set up by the Marchioness of Londonderry in July 1915, the Women’s Legion became

the largest entirely voluntary body. Although it was not formally under government control or part of the army, in the spirit of the

times its members adopted a military style organisation and uniform. The WL volunteers became involved in many forms of work,

including cooking and catering for the army in England. The success of the WL, was a definite factor in influencing the Government to

organise female labour in the latter half of the war. Not much of her post war life is known, but she is noted as having died in

Hampshire aged 49 on the 27th March 1930. (5) Nearly extremely fine £800-900

472. The superb Fall of Norway Prisoner of War and Escape to Russia Distinguished Conduct Medal awarded to Corporal W.

Corkery, 8th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters - The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment, who was taken prisoner to the

north of Lilliehammer on 27th April 1940, and made his escape from Stalag XXA at Winuga on the Vistula on 3rd December

1940, before suffering rough treatment at the hands of the Russians through to June 1941. Distinguished Conduct Medal, Geo

VI, first type named to 3511456 Corporal W. Corkery, Foresters. William Corkery served during the Second World War as a Corporal

(No.3511456) with the 8th Battalion, Sherwood Foresters - The Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment, and as such fought during

the defence of Norway in 1940, and was taken prisoner in the hills to the north of Lilliehammer on 27th April 1940. Taken to Oslo,

and thence to Stettin, he was next entrained for a camp at Bromberg in German occupied Poland but, on arrival, refused to join a

working party engaged in the preparation of gun ranges. He was removed the following day - 7 July 1940 - to Stalag XXA, Fort 13, at

Winuga on the Vistula, where he teamed up with Private H. Doyle of the 5th Battalion, Gordon Highlanders. Of their subsequent

escape, M.I. 9 records state: ‘On arrival all our personal belongings were confiscated, we were not interrogated but were registered. No

clothing was issued to Prisoners of War. We were housed in wooden huts and the food was poor and scarce. Discipline was very strict;

our quarters were searched once or twice a week. During our stay in the camp we did not see a Red Cross parcel. All our letters were

censored. In spite of everything and of the German effort to convince us that the war was lost for Britain, Prisoners of War never

despaired. We were obliged to work and went out daily in parties of ten or twenty under escort of two guards armed with rifles. Roll

call was taken before leaving and on return to the Camp. Prisoners of War of Irish extraction were taken away soon after our arrival.

There was no recognised escape organisation amongst Prisoners of War, but individuals were constantly scheming and collecting

equipment. We stole a map from the guards' canteen and had already acquired a pocket compass. It was impossible to get hold of

civilian clothes, this handicap and the lack of money stopped many a man from trying to get away. The Germans had also put up a

notice saying that it was useless to escape to Russia, as the Red frontier guards shot at sight. In spite of all this we decided to make a

dash for it. The guards' canteen had a door on the far side opening out of the camp, with a single wire fence beyond to negotiate. At

0430 hours on 3rd December we went through the canteen and, when the sentry had just passed, scrambled under and through the

fence and so got away. We took the river Vistula as our direction for Russian Occupied Poland and, for the first ten days, avoided

meeting anybody. By then our store of food gave out, but on approaching Polish farmers, we were given food and clothing and by

degrees guided to Warsaw. Here we got in touch with an organisation which helped us to the frontier at Ostroleica. Here we got

through the wire and penetrated five miles beyond before we were arrested by Russians and taken to Lomsa prison for three days, then

nine days at Bialostok and thirteen at Minok. At all these places the prisons were filthy and over-crowded, and we were half starved.

The other inmates were chiefly Poles of whom the majority were ex-officers. Later we were moved to a prison in Moscow, where were

better; this was an internment camp for political prisoners. After a fortnight we were taken, with 140 Frenchmen, to a camp at

Smolensk, where we remained from the beginning of February 1941 until the 22 June, when the German attack began. We were then

taken to the railway station and were all ready for our journey (rumoured to be Siberia), in cattle trucks under heavy guard, when all

British P./W. were suddenly ordered to leave the train. We were taken back to the camp and later to a hotel in Moscow, where we

spent eight days on good rations before our release on 8 July to our own Embassy.’ For his gallantry in making his escape and crossing

over to the Russian lines, followed by the subsequent hardship he endured whilst a prisoner of the Russians, Corkery together with his

fellow escaper Private Doyle of the Gordon’s, was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal in the London Gazette for 4th

sorties totalling 165.26 hours including attacks on Aachen, Sterkrade, Russelsheim and Kiel. Throughout his operational tour he has

proved himself to be a very sound and steady engineer and has worked very hard and efficiently, displaying a combination of

theoretical and technical knowledge which has proved an indispensable factor in the culmination of every operation carried out by his

crew. Supremely calm, well disciplined and cool, Sergeant Joyce proved that he possesses the marked ability to cope without

hesitation and with good common sense with whatever problem comes before him. His work and record inspired his crew and gained

him their confidence, he is recommended for the award of the D.F.M.’ With Joyce’s Flying Log Book, a photograph of the crew of

their aircraft, of which all members were decorated either with the Distinguished Flying Cross and Distinguished Flying Medal, his

Royal Air Force service and release book, several photographs of Joyce and his crew, and a copy of his death certificate, stating he

position from 17th to 23rd January was constantly engaged in dangerous line repair over ground which was heavily shelled, and often

machine gunned. For five days and nights he scarcely missed going out on a single line repair party, foregoing any relief. When laying

a line to Lorenzo cross roads the area was heavily shelled, machine gunned and grenades were thrown round the road where he was

working, but he continued to fix the telephone and test it until the line was through. This fusilier displayed great devotion to duty and a

complete disregard for his own personal safety. He was well aware of the vital necessity for communications and was determined to

maintain them. He set a fine example to his comrades.’. On the night of 23rd/24th January part of the London Scottish also attacked the

Lorenzo position, and during this action, Private George Allan Mitchell of the London Scottish won a Posthumous Victoria Cross, the

London Gazette of 1st March 1945. ‘On the 9th August 1944 at Plessis De Grimault, Corporal Morgan was in command of a section of

‘B’ Company, which was the leading company in the attack. The enemy seeing that the attack was imminent, brought down heavy

defensive artillery fire, and on the start line being reached, Corporal Morgan’s Platoon Commander, Platoon Sergeant and several

other personnel were wounded and unable to carry on. As it was not possible to send out orders to the sections of this platoon they

were therefore left to carry on, on their own initiative. For Corporal Morgan’s section there was no need for further orders, no

encouragement was needed and during the whole of the ensuing battle which lasted for two hours, Corporal Morgan was to be seen to

the forefront, leading and encouraging his men on. He and his men were invariably on top of the enemy positions before the enemy

had time to recover from the barrage, bearing down on the enemy with fixed bayonets and firing from the hip, they over-ran and

captured many enemy posts and took many prisoners. Corporal Morgan’s bravery and determination close with the enemy , and his

fine personal example filled his men with eagerness and enthusiasm for the fight. Without thought for his own personal safety from

enemy artillery, mortar and small arms fire, he showed superb coolness and courage in leading his men on and was the first to reach

the final objective. His magnificent courage and outstanding leadership greatly contributed to the complete defeat of the enemy.’ With

copy service papers, Morgan was from Durham. Citation for the MM, on headed notepaper. Photocopy of original recommendation,

camp was taken over by the Germans who took the Prisoners of War to Germany. MacLennan was entrained on 25th September 1943

and put in a truck with 40 others. He prized open a small barred window in the truck, forced the bars out and jumped down on to the

period Cpl. Donne has acted as signal NCO with a rifle coy or as NCO i/c a line party. He has taken part in every operation which the

Bn has performed. His invariable coolness, gallantry and devotion to duty have been most marked and have been a great incentive to

the signallers under him to carry out their duties under the most trying conditions. On one occasion on the Kohima road he was in

charge of a party laying lines to the fwd coys he showed great perseverance in finding the coys in darkness and in extremely thick

country which had not been cleared of enemy. Later the same night he went fwd to reconnoitre a route for a lateral line to another Coy

and successfully carried out his hazardous task, thereby establishing communication with an isolated coy at a critical time. On another

occasion on the Tiddim Road, he was with a platoon which had done an encircling movement. The wireless set broke down and it was

essential to inform Bn HQ of the whereabouts of the platoon. Cpl Donne alone took back the wireless set through several miles of

thick jungle in very close proximity to the enemy, delivered the message and returned to the platoon with a new set. These two

incidents are typical of his conduct throughout the operation.’ With copy London Gazette entry and recommendation. Court-mounted.

Trinidad Guardian on 12th November 1943 ‘Clifford Pope and Able Seaman native of St. Vincent but living in Trinidad for past 18

years with his wife and family at St. Paul Street, Port of Spain, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (Civil Division) by HM

The King for Distinguished Services in exacting night-time rescue work at sea. The London Gazette of Aug 3 states ‘The ship was

sailing in convoy when another vessel was torpedoed and had her stern blown off. Although there was a heavy swell running, the

Master put his engines full astern and backed down towards the stricken ship. In 8 minutes she had disappeared. Although some of the

survivors were able to scramble up the scrambling nets unaided, many were suffering from the effects of oil fumes and most of them

were exhausted. The Second Officer, the Junior Engineer Officer and Able Seaman Pope particularly distinguished themselves in the

exacting work of rescue. The three men went down the ship’s side and into the nets. They were practically submerged during the time

they were tying ropes around survivor, but their determination that none should be lost in the darkness was fully rewarded. All this

time the ship was herself in danger of attack, a fact which did not prevent the Master remaining on the spot until had had assured

himself that he had rescued every survivor.’ Pope’s award was one of a number for the Battles involving Convoy HX 228 which took
