WW2 Medal Group Killed in Action 2nd Armoured Battalion Welsh Guards

Complete World War Two Medal Group to a Lance. From the 2nd Armoured. Welsh Guards (Guards Armoured Division Reconnaissance and Scouting) who was killed in action. The medals were awarded to 2737430 Lance. Henry Leonard Green came from Bristol and he served with the 2nd Battalion Welsh Guards which formed the Guards Armoured Division Reconnaissance and Scouting – and who was killed in action on 1st September 1944 during the fighting around the town of Arras. He is buried in the London Cemetery and Extension in Longeuval in the Somme region. There is another Welsh Guardsman and several members of the Royal Armoured Corps and the Reconnaissance Corps (Royal Armoured Corps) who were killed in action on this date. This was just before the 100 mile in one day advance when the battalion was the first unit to liberate Brussels on 3rd September 1944. The 2nd Armoured Battalion Welsh Guards were part of the 6th Guards Armoured Brigade and they were the leading battalion of the Guards Armoured. The 2nd Battalion Welsh Guards was originally an infantry unit but later converted to an armoured role, becoming the divisional scouting and reconnaissance unit of the Guards Armoured Division. This division landed in France on 29 June 1944 and fought its way across North West Europe. It participated in many of the Normandy breakout battles, Operation Market Garden, the advance on and subsequent crossing of the Rhine and the drive into Germany itself. They were equipped with Cromwell and Stuart Tanks. I have attached a photo showing some of the men of the battalion with their Cromwell Tank in June 1944 above. The group includes the original medal box sent to his father, the medal slip insert confirming his name and service number and the award of the 4 medals, the defence medal, war medal, 1939-45 star and the France and Germany Star. The medals include their original envelope packets. The box, slip and medals are all in very good condition. The medals have rarely been taken out of their packets and are in mint condition. A good complete group of medals which is worthy of more research. Please let me know if you need any additional photos or details.

Australian WW2 medal group. Served 61st Infantry Battalion Milne Bay New Guniea

Genuine full size medal group all correctly impressed QX35555 H. Herbert Rowbotham was born in Toowoomba on the 30th of March 1920. He enlisted in the Militia on the 3rd of January 1940 and was allocated service number Q28442. He joined the 61st Infantry Battalion, which was at the time was part of the Citizens Military Force. During 1940 the 61st was called-up and joined the 7th Brigade. By May 1942 the 61st Battalion had been moved to Townsville to defend the area from a Japanese invasion. It was during this time that Herbert decided to volunteer in the Australian Regular Army and on the 22nd of July 1942 he was allocated service number QX35555. His decision most probably due to the fact that his unit had began to embark for Milne Bay, New Guinea. By the 30th of July Herbert had embarked from Townsville for New Guinea. In New Guinea, the 61st was deployed with the 25th Infantry Battalion to defend the No. 3 airstrip at Gili Gili. The Japanese made an amphibious landing at Milne Bay on the 27th of August 1942. The 61st was first into action but were unable to hold back the Japanese. The Japanese reached the edge of the airstrip the next day, where they waited to be reinforced. In the early-morning of the 31st of August the Japanese charged the defences manned by the 61st and 25th. The Japanese suffered heavily and withdrew at dawn. By the 7th of September the battle was over. Herbert was evacuated to Australia suffering with Malaria on the 17th of December 1942. He was to return to New Guinea in July 1943 and spent this time at Donadabu, near Port Moresby until evacuated again in January 1944. A nice complete group to a larrikin, (charged on several occasions) who was a veteran of Milne Bay. His service record is available to view at the NAA site online.
