E, see pictures for condition. Scarce Brigadier George F Charles CBE WW1 WW2 medals RAMC Dentist & ANZACS & RAF. Very scarce WW1 & 2 Military C. E medal group Brigadier Dental Corps RAMC. London Gazette 14 June 1945. The Original Recommendation states: Colonel Charles has administered the Army Dental Services in Scottish Command for over three years. To his organising ability and wide experience, coupled with energy and enthusiasm, are due the excellent dental arrangements in the Command. During the mobilisation and special training of the large forces for overseas many dental problems arose and were successfully overcome under his supervision. In short, the high standard of dental fitness of all troops in and leaving the Command is undoubtedly due to his zeal and efficiency – attributes which have inspired all his officers and men in their work in the common cause. George Frederick Charles was born in 24th February 1891, Heywood, Lancashire and joined the Army Dental Corps (arm of RAMC) as Temporary Lieutenant in September 1915. He married Dorothy Bailey December 1916, in Builth, Breconshire, mid Wales. He served as a Dental Officer during the Great War on the Western Front , France from 8 October 1915, later serving in the ANZACS 11th Battalion Australian Infantry from 11 July 1918. THE HUNDRED DAYS OFFENSIVE-ANZACS 11TH Battalion-all out war. British Troops advance Around this time, a small group of US soldiers was attached to the 11th Battalion to gain experience. The following month, the battalion captured Gerbedoen Farm before supporting the 10th Battalion’s successful attack on Merris. On 8 August, the Allies launched their own offensive, known as the Hundred Days Offensive, around Amiens. The 11th Battalion did not take part in the opening phase of the offensive, moving to Hamel and establishing themselves in a defensive position around Harbonnieres. On 10 August, the battalion was committed to a strong attack around Lihons; although successful, the attack lasted three days and resulted in heavy casualties, including 58 killed and 140 wounded. On the night of 12/13 August, the 11th was withdrawn to the support line just behind the front. WW1 British Tank Later, they were moved to Vaire and then Cerisy, before supporting the 9th and 12th Battalions around Chuignolles and Proyart on 23 August and then around Chuignes and Cappy two days later, where further losses were experienced. The 11th Battalion’s final attack came against the Hindenburg Outpost Line on 18 September when they launched a three-company attack around Fervaque Farm and Carpeza Copse near Villeret. Despite being severely understrength each company had an average strength of just 76 men they advanced over 3,000 yards (2,700 m) and took over 120 prisoners and large quantities of German equipment, for the loss of 18 men killed. WW1 German and Allied Fighters in dog fight over western front Further casualties came on 24 October when German aircraft attacked the battalion headquarters, killing a number of officers, including Darnell, who was the acting commanding officer. The heavy casualties that the Australians had suffered during the final year of the war, and the decrease in volunteers arriving from Australia, meant that the battalion was desperately understrength. Germans Surrender In October, they were withdrawn from the line for rest and reorganisation, at the insistence of the Australian prime minister, Billy Hughes. At this time, the battalion was reorganised into a two-company structure. In early November, the battalion prepared to return to the front around St. Quentin, but before they could return to the fighting, an armistice came into effect, bringing the war to an end Captain Charles just after end of WW1 transferred to the Royal Air Force Dental Service in 1919. He reverted back to the Army Dental Corps two years later, with whom he held various appointments between the wars. Advanced Colonel on 1 July 1939, he embarked for France as Deputy Director Dental Services with Medical HQ and Staff of the British Expeditionary Force on 10 September 1939. German Panzers advance – ” Blitzkreig”, Summer 1940, France He formed two additional Dental units at Boulogne and Dieppe but these were rapidly overrun by the German attack in the summer of 1940.

Coronation 1953, generally good very fine, the last seven swing mounted, as worn. London Gazette 1 January 1963. The original recommendation states. Brigadier Adams has been Commandant of the Trials Establishment Guided Weapons Royal Artillery since September 1959. During that time, this establishment has played a vital part in the development of surface-to-air guided weapons and in their introduction into regiments of the Royal Artillery. An exhaustive series of tests and trials were organised by Brigadier Adams and completed with exemplary exactitude. When the time came for the first firings by operational regiments, it was Brigadier Adams who once again made all the arrangements and who provided so much wise advice in the development of tactical doctrine for them to follow. More recently, an urgent requirement arose for the conversion of training missiles into operational ones. It was a technical task of considerable complexity. Under Brigadier Adams’s guidance, TEGWRA performed it in a much shorter time than had been forecast by the experts. In all that TEGWRA does, there is abundant evidence of the excellence of the command and guidance provided by Brigadier Adams I strongly recommend that these sterling services be recognised by the award of the C.

London Gazette 24 January 1946: The recommendation states: Brigadier Carthew-Yorstoun commanded General Headquarters troops in British Liberation Army from July to the end of August 1944, and was then appointed Commander of the British Army Staff in Paris. The first of these two appointments he held with distinction and was promoted Brigadier in late August 1944 to fill the second. When he first went to Paris general conditions in the capital were chaotic and the first priority task which was allotted to him was the preparation of a leave centre for all ranks of the British Liberation Army. He set about this with tremendous energy. Complications and difficulties of all sorts were overcome one by one. He had a perfect grasp of his problem and together with the team he had about him, which he infected with his own zeal and devotion to duty, he produced in a remarkably short space of time an organisation which made the British leave centre in Paris a credit to the Army and a source of great satisfaction to all ranks who went there. The Press was unstinting in its eulogies of all the arrangements. Brigadier Carthew-Yorstoun wrote a personal address of welcome to all ranks, the wording of which was so well chosen that it undoubtedly contributed to the good discipline and soldierly behaviour which was always displayed by the troops on leave and which became the admiration of our allies. In January 1945 Brigadier Carthew-Yorstoun was appointed to command 101 Beach Sub Area at Caen when there was still a great deal of activity in the port and neighbouring depots. With a small staff he performed his functions admirably. Later, on transfer to Holland, his Beach Sub Area was upgraded and became 21 L of C Sub Area. Throughout the whole campaign his services have been outstanding. London Gazette 22 October 1940. The recommendation states: Throughout the operation 13 May to 1 June 1940, this officer has led his Battalion with outstanding courage, coolness and resolution. In particular on 26 May, he organised and carried through a successful counter-attack and tenaciously held on to the ground so gained. He extricated his Battalion skilfully when the order to withdraw was given and brought his Battalion through many difficulties and on his own initiative to rejoin his Brigade in time to take part on 29 to 31 May in the defence of an important sector near Nieuport. When his Battalion was finally ordered to withdraw, it was still holding its original front line despite repeated enemy attacks upon it. London Gazette 25 April 1941. Morden Archibald Carthew-Yorstoun was born at Gate Fulford, York, on 13 September 1897, the only son of Lieutenant-Colonel A. Who commanded the 2nd Battalion Black Watch during the Boer War and was seriously wounded at Paardeberg. Educated at Winchester College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, where he won the Sword of Honour, he was commissioned into the Royal Highlanders on 7 April 1916, and served during the Great War as Aide-de-Camp to the Commanding Officer of the 1st Division from February 1917 until 9 June 1919, being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire on the cessation of hostilities. Following the war, he served as Aide-de-Camp to the Governor of Bengal; on attachment to the Egyptian Army, 1922 until 1925; and with the Sudan Defence Force, 1925 until 1932, serving as Comptroller to Governor General of Sudan in 1926 and Brigade Major of the British Troops in Sudan 1931-32. Returning to the 2nd Battalion, Black Watch in 1933 as Garrison Adjutant, Portsmouth and Brigade Major to the Commander of the 9th Infantry Brigade Brigadier B. Montgomery, he was promoted Major on 1 August 1938, and appointed temporary Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the 6th Battalion Black Watch in March 1940. Going to France with his Battalion, he was evacuated from Dunkirk on 1 June 1940, and in the course of his battalions evacuation the destroyer he was borne on was sunk by bombing. After transferring to a second destroyer, he was again sunk, this time suffering severe wounds- he only survived because an elderly Able Seaman, whom he was never able to trace, put a life jacket on him at the last moment. (Account from the recipients Obituary in The Red Hackle refers). For his gallantry at Dunkirk he was Created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order, and also Mentioned in Despatches. His wound was too serious for him to take a major part thereafter in the War, but having made a partial recovery, he was appointed Colonel on Staff Headquarters, Royal Armoured Corps in 1941, and appointed to the command of the 176 Infantry Brigade (59th Division) as temporary Brigadier in April 1942, a post he held until D-Day. Following the Liberation of Paris he served as Head of the British Army Staff in Paris, 1944, and was promoted substantial Lieutenant-Colonel on 2 January 1945. His final appointment was as Chief Liaison Officer, British Army of the Rhine and British Zone of Germany, a post he held from 1946 until his retirement, with the honorary rank of Brigadier, on 24 January 1949. He died on 24 April 1968. Please view our guide on spotting fake militaria. We list militaria and coins weekly. We provide quality mounted medals, badges and historical research.
