London Gazette 24th January 1946: Throughout the campaign in N.
W. Europe, since early June 1944, this NCO has either led a Section
or acted as Platoon Sgt, on occasion commanding a Platoon.
Throughout he has displayed absolutely outstanding courage and
leadership. In Holland, in October, after the crossing of a river,
he personally led an assault on an enemy post and killed the
occupants, and later used an abandoned Wasp flame thrower with great
effect. At Laroche in January he personally led an assault across
bullet swept ground to clear a strongly held house, the capture of
which was vital to the attack. After the Rhine crossing, he took
over a Platoon and held out in a house for several hours against the
most determined enemy attacks accompanied by bazookas and S.P. guns.
At one time he personally climbed onto the roof in full view of the
enemy, and from this position was able to shoot and kill a bazooka
party who were infiltrating and endangering the whole position.
During the whole campaign, it is difficult to speak too highly of
this NCO’s conduct. Throughout his entire Company his courage is a
bye-word and it is difficult to overestimate the tremendous value of
his splendid example to the men around him. Married Mathilde
Gehm 1948. Son Leslie. Served 1st Battalion Black Watch
1945 – 1952. BAOR. Died 4th February 1999. Friend of
