Capt. Micheal Gillian
Died 10^th February 1943 Aged 32

Captain in the Leicestershire Yeomanry. He was a well known steeplechaser locally and won prizes at the Dingley Races. He was good-looking and charming and popular at local social events. Michael's daughter, Serena, remembers being told that during the 1930s he went to the help of a victim of Nazi Brownshirts while in a cafe in Germany. He was beaten up but the German authorities did apologise afterwards.

In February 1943 Michael’s troops, the Kibworth troop, was on manoeuvres on Salisbury Plain. One contact thinks this was the time when the Royal Artillery was changing over from horses to vehicles. The weather was terrible and he was taken ill after travelling to London in wet clothes. He took leave and booked himself into the Dorchester Hotel in London where, tragically, he died of double pneumonia. He left his widow, Grizel and an infant daughter. Michael is buried in a Commonwealth War Grave in Long Stowe in Cambridgeshire.

(Sept 1st 1939)

Colonel Sir Eric Gore Browne (1885-1964) was a soldier, businessman and banker.

In 1912 Gore Browne joined the Post Office Rifles, a part-time volunteer battalion which was part of the London Regiment.

During the First World War Gore Browne was called to active duty, arriving in France with his battalion on 13 March 1915. He served throughout the war in various staff posts, and rose to the rank of brevet major. He was mentioned in despatches and won the French Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Service Order.

After the war he remained with the Post Office Rifles and became their commanding officer, with the rank of Lieutenant colonel. After the battalion was effectively disbanded in 1922 he joined the Leicestershire Yeomanry. He served as their commanding officer from 1933 to 1938, and was appointed colonel in 1939.

After the outbreak of the Second World War he served as deputy adjutant and quartermaster general, 48th Division, 1939-40, and assistant quartermaster general, Home Forces, 1940.

From 1942 to 1943 he served as Controller of Rubber, a government post introduced in 1941 to ensure good management of the nation’s precious rubber resources, which were vital to the war effort.

Captain E T S DUGDALE

Edgar Trevelyan Stratford Dugdale (c. 1872 – 14 October 1964) was a translator, completing the first English translation of Mein Kampf. He gained the rank of Captain in the Leicestershire Yeomanry and held the office of Justice of the Peace.

The first English translation of Mein Kampf was an abridgment by Edgar Dugdale, who started work on it in 1931, at the prompting of his wife Blanche. When he learned that the London publishing firm of Hurst & Blackett had secured the rights to publish an abridgment in the United Kingdom, he offered it gratis in April 1933. However, a local Nazi party representative insisted that the translation be further abridged before publication, so it was held back from the public until 13 October 1933, although excerpts were allowed to run in The Times in late July.

In America, Houghton Mifflin secured the rights to the Dugdale abridgment on 29 July 1933. The only differences between the American and British versions are that the title was translated as My Struggle in the UK and My Battle in America; and that Dugdale is credited as translator in the U.S. edition, while the British version withheld his name. Both Dugdales were active in the Zionist movement ; Blanche was the niece of Lord Balfour, and they wished to avoid publicity.

The full length photograph was taken at Oakham, Rutland, in 1939. In the background can be seen the railway crossing that is near the centre of the town. The three young men are Eric Montgomery of Thurmaston, Dusty Miller of Oakham, and Percy Potter of Thurmaston.

The head and shoulder photograph was taken in early 1940 and shows Percy, left, and Eric, right. The uniform worn by Percy shows very clearly the regimental badge of the Leicestershire Yeomanry. The lower scroll of the badge bore the inscription South Africa 1900-02. This was in recognition of the battle honour gained by the regiment during the Boer War, when members of the regiment made-up companies of the Imperial Yeomanry force.

Band Master G T Acres

On 12 August 1923 Acres was appointed the Bandmaster of the Leicestershire Yeomanry (Prince Albert’s Own), a position he held until 1928 when he joined the Royal Guernsey Militia as Bandmaster. As Lieutenant Bandmaster he retired from his position due to ill-health in 1939 and was awarded £100 as mark of appreciation by the States of Guernsey. For his long service in the Leicestershire Yeomanry and Royal Guernsey Militia, Acres was awarded the Efficiency Medal (Guernsey), this published in List 8 of Army Order 27 of March 1948. He was awarded the Army Meritorious Service Medal with Annuity by Army Order 14 of January 1949

George Thomas Acres was born on 3 May 1874, studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and joined the Army in July 1892. As a Private, and later a Lance-Corporal, in ‘A’ Squadron, 21st Lancers, he took part in the Sudan Campaign of 1896-98 and was present at the battle of Omdurman, 2 September 1898. He later transferred to the 1st King’s Dragoon Guards, with which regiment he served until he left the Regular Army in 1923. He entered Kneller Hall as a Student in 1903 and on 22 July 1907 was appointed Bandmaster of the King’s Dragoon Guards. In 1908 Acres was awarded one of the special Jubilee Medals commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria. The Emperor who was honorary commander of 11 non-Austro-Hungarian regiments, including the King’s Dragoon Guards, awarded this special version of the jubilee medal in gold, silver and in bronze to certain members of the regiments concerned; Acres was awarded a medal in bronze. Acres was also awarded the Delhi Durbar Medal 1911, the King’s Dragoon Guards being present on that occasion. As Bandmaster, K.D.G., he was awarded the Army L.S. & G.C. without gratuity, notified in A.O. 92 of April 1911. During the Great War the K.D.G. served on the Western Front but it appears that Acres did not serve with the regiment overseas until his service in Iraq. Bandmaster Acres left the Army with a pension on 12 August 1923

London Gazette 10 May 1945 Ian Fenwick was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Leicestershire Yeomanry in 1937 After serving with the Royal Artillery and King's Royal Rifle Corps, He Joined the Special Air Service, having gained his wings with the Army Air Corps. He commanded "D" Squadron, 1st S.A.S., during operation 'Gain', parachuted into France on the night of 16th/17th June 1944, with six men. Working on foot some thirty to fifty miles south of Paris, in the gap between the Loire and the Seine, they proceeded to blow up railway lines and, working with the French Resistance, Fenwick's party derailed many trains. This was all occurring too near the Gestapo's Paris stamping ground to be long tolerable, and finally a double agent enabled the Gestapo to raid Fenwick's base. On the 7th August, 1944, the base was surrounded by a large enemy force. The base party was successful in breaking out, while lan Fenwick was out on an operational patrol at the time. On his way back He received garbled reports which must have indicated that most of his party had been captured. "It was typical of him" wrote another officer, "that his first thought should be for the safety of his men. It was in an attempt to relieve them immediately that, after successfully attacking an enemy column, He was ambushed in his Jeep and killed instantaneously. Thus died a very gallant Englishman." Ian Fenwick was a noted cartoonist for Punch and other magazines. The lot is sold with further research including a copy of his book Enter Trubshaw, which was published shortly after his death in 1944, with a Preface by David Niven who had been a friend of Fenwick since his childhood days.

William Neville Jones was a 7th Dragoon Guard, he transferred to LY 24 Aug 1920
Extended tour of duty in 1923, 1924 and 1925 until (writing unclear) termination of engagement 7. 5. 1927. In 1923 his address was Drill Hall, Oakham and on his death he was buried in Sysonby, Melton Mowbray. After his service within the LY he had a long association with the Remount Depot (RAVC) in Melton Mowbray. His Great War record shows that he was also part of the Machine Gun Corps (Cav) in 1916 and this might indicate an association with Major E R Hanbury (Oakham) who was also part of the MGC(Cav) before his death in Flanders (see WW1 page, Major E R Hanbury) , hence the link with the LY.
