Sgt. Leslie Allan Joyce MM.. British Army Staffordshire Yeomanry from High Park, Patshull Estate, Pattingham, Staffordshire Leslie Joyce was the 5th son of Wyndham and Selina Joyce and brought up at High Park, on a country estate called Patshull in Pattingham, Staffordshire, which was owned by Lord Dartmouth.
He joined up in 1939 when the Patshull troop of the Staffordshire Yeomanry was formed by Lord and Lady Dartmouth's eldest son. He served throughout the North African Campaign, crossed to Normandy on D-Day and was in the Rhine crossing.
The action which won him the Military Medal was reported as follows:
"Patshull N. C. O. In Capture Of Village
An action which broke German resistance and ensured the capture of the village of Lutau during the battle for the Elbe bridgehead on April 30th won the Military Medal for Sergeant Leslie Allan Joyce, Staffordshire Yeomanry, 5th son of Mr W. F. Joyce, of High Park Patshull."
This is the report on Leslie's achievement in order to be awarded the Military Medal:
"On the morning of 30th of April 1945, during the battle for the Elbe bridge-head, Sgt. Joyce was Troop Sgt of a Troop of DD tanks in support of the 2nd Battalion, Glasgow Highlanders. In the attack on the village of Lutau, enemy resistance was very strong; the infantry were pinned to the ground and the attack appeared to be halted. Sgt. Joyce, as leading tank commander, worked his way forward, killed a large number of the enemy and forced his way through to the centre of the village where he remained engaging the enemy for a considerable time before being joined by the infantry. Sgt. Joyce's drive and determination and disregard of his own personal safety in entering the village unaccompanied by the infantry, undoubtedly broke the enemy resistance and ensured the capture of the village. Throughout the fighting for the bridge-head he showed the same drive and devotion to duty and was a real inspiration, not only to his own troop, but also to the infantry he was supporting."
This report was entered by Lieut Colonel J. Trotter and was granted. The medal was awarded by none other than Field Marshall Bernard Law Montgomery.
The award was reported in the Express and Star on July 25th.
The citation, issued today, states that Sergeant Joyce was troop commander of a troop of tanks in support of infantry.
Whilst he was in El Alamein, he was advancing in a tank along with Lord and Lady Dartmouth's son. Lord Dartmouth's son stuck his head out of the turret to see what was going on and was killed by a shot to the head.

Len Joynes . British Army Coldstream Guards My late father, Len Joynes, was in the Coldstream Guards when he was captured on 20th June 1942 at Tobruk. My information is that he was held prisoner of war at Campo 73 and escaped when the Italians surrendered in September 1943. His army records show him being a prisoner of war up until April 1944 during which time I am pretty sure he spent with Italian partisans near to Pescara as I have some wonderful letters from an Italian family and fellow escapees. I am presently trying to make contact with this family as well as trying to piece together any information that would enable me to put together what must have been a most wonderful journey in life.

Lt. Karamjeet Singh Judge VC. British Indian Army 4th Battalion 15th Punjab Regiment from India (d.18th March 1945) Karamjeet Singh Judge was 21 years old, and a lieutenant in the 4th Battalion, 15th Punjab Regiment, when he was awarded the VC.
"The King has been graciously pleased to approve the posthumous award of the Victoria Cross to Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge (IEC. 5504), 15th Punjab Regiment, Indian Army. In Burma, on 18th March, 1945, a Company of the 15th Punjab Regiment, in which Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge was a Platoon Commander, was ordered to capture the Cotton Mill area on the outskirts of Myingyan. In addition to numerous bunkers and stiff enemy resistance a total of almost 200 enemy shells fell around the tanks and infantry during the attack. The ground over which the operation took place was very broken and in parts was unsuitable for tanks. Except for the first two hours of this operation, Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge's platoon was leading in the attack, and up to the last moment Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge dominated the entire battlefield by his numerous and successive acts of superb gallantry.
Time and again the infantry were held up by heavy medium machine gun and small arms fire from bunkers not seen by the tanks. On every such occasion Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge, without hesitation and with a complete disregard for his own personal safety, coolly went forward through heavy fire to recall the tanks by means of the house telephone. Cover around the tanks was nonexistent, but Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge remained completely regardless not only of the heavy small arms fire directed at him, but also of the extremely heavy shelling directed at the tanks. Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge succeeded in recalling the tanks to deal with bunkers which he personally indicated to the tanks, thus allowing the infantry to advance.
In every case Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge personally led the infantry in charges against the bunkers and was invariably first to arrive. In this way ten bunkers were eliminated by this brilliant and courageous officer. On one occasion, while he was going into the attack, two Japanese suddenly rushed at him from a small nullah with fixed bayonets. At a distance of only 10 yards he killed both.
About fifteen minutes before the battle finished, a last nest of three bunkers was located, which were very difficult for the tanks to approach. An enemy light machine gun was firing from one of them and holding up the advance of the infantry. Undaunted, Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge directed one tank to within 20 yards of the above bunker at great personal risk and then threw a smoke grenade as a means of indication. After some minutes of fire, Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge, using the house telephone again, asked the tank commander to cease fire while he went in with a few men to mop up. He then went forward and got within 10 yards of the bunker, when the enemy light machine gun opened fire again, mortally wounding Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge in the chest. By this time, however, the remaining men of the section were able to storm this strong point, and so complete a long and arduous task. During, the battle, Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge showed an example of cool and calculated bravery. In three previous and similar actions this young officer had already proved himself an outstanding leader of matchless courage. In this, his last action, Lieutenant Karamjeet Singh Judge gave a superb example of inspiring leadership and outstanding courage"
