A Second War O. Group of five medals awarded to Captain J. George, Mercantile Marine, who was awarded the O. For his services when his vessel, the S. Devis, was attacked in 1941, and was subsequently killed in action during a further attack on 21 November 1943. (Civil) Officers 2nd type breast badge, silver-gilt. The WW2 campaign awards all later engraved’Capt. With named Ministry of Transport condolence slip. London Gazette 17 March 1942: Captain John Henry George, Master. He showed high qualities of determination and seamanship. John Henry George born in Fishguard, Cardiganshire, in 1882, and first went to sea in September 1900. During the Second World War he was Master of the M. He was awarded the O. For his services when his vessel was attacked by hostile aircraft on 2 April 1941, whilst transporting stores and troops, both British and Australian. Captain George subsequently received personal congratulations from the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean, Admiral A. Devis eventually reached Alexandria and sailed to India for repairs. In November 1943, Captain George was again Master of S. Devis, sailing in convoy to his home port of Liverpool, in November 1943. Ominously, he writes in the last entry of his journal on 17 November:’For three days now there has been a Jerry reconnaissance plane around having a look at us. Today he had a damn good look too. We could see him circling round the convoy taking tab of all. We haven’t seen a plane of ours for three days. Can’t understand where they are. They must know that we are being shadowed and one would think there would be some round now. There was a Sub in the vicinity too but luckily (touch wood) there has been no attack yet but I would not be a bit surprised if we don’t get an attack in one form or another later. The attack came four days later, on 21 November, when 25 long range He-177 bombers set out to attack the convoy. Twenty reached the target, three being shot down and another two driven off, but not before they had released 40 Hs-293 glider bombs, sinking the freighter Marsa and damaging the S. Devis, amongst whose casualties was Captain George, killed. He was subsequently buried at sea and is recorded by name in the Merchant Navy Roll of Honour.
