This superb group was awarded to Colonel G. The North West Frontier 1930-1 Clasp India General Service Medal is named LIEUT. I found some information about him and it is as follows. In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in East Africa and Madagascar. The original recommendation states. He drew up the entire signal plan, got it working and by his own efforts kept it going, by personal visits to stations which brought him his full ration of shelling and sniping. At daylight on D-3, in a determined effort to get into Antsirane in time to prevent sabotage of the W. Station, he drove his truck past a French 75mm. Which was doing its best over open sights to upset him. It was due entirely to this officer that the shelling was stopped in time to allow the armistice discussions to be concluded. This tireless, able and fearless officer had no sleep between 0300 on D-1 and 0200 on D-4. In spite of this, he continued with drive and energy to open up a skeleton telephone system which was in operation by 0200 on D-4. Gorghes Frederick Palmer, who was from Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, was on attachment to 121 Force at the time of the above cited deeds in Diego Suarez, Madagascar in May 1942. Born in August 1907, Palmer was commissioned in the Royal Signals as a 2nd Lieutenant in September 1927 and advanced to Captain in September 1930, in which year he witnessed active service on the North-West Frontier (Medal & clasp). An Acting Major by the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939, he was awarded the O. In respect of the above cited deeds, but saw no further action and ended the War in the rank of war substantive Lieutenant-Colonel. Post-war he was advanced to Colonel in January 1955 and served as Chief Signals Officer, Land Forces, Hong Kong from April of the latter year. He was placed on the Retired List in December 1959.
