Sgt. James Joseph Martin MM

British Army 1st Btn King's Dragoon Guards

My father Sgt James Joseph Martin, 1st King's Dragoon Guards, Royal Armoured Corps (Luton) was awarded the Military Medal for service in Egypt. The award was posted in the London Gazette of 16th February 1943. Other corps members awarded with him were:

  • Cpl. William Thomas Hadlow (Chatham)
  • Sqd Sgt Mjr. Norman Henry Morgan (London)
  • Sgt. Benjamin Joseph Hogarth (Bradford)
  • Sgt. William Lay (Birmingham).

    He sailed on the HMT California in 1939 and was in a cabin with `Johnson'. He was at Tobruk, El Alamein and Cario and went to Cape Town on the hospital ship Queen Mary in 1943.

    Does anyone know why they received their MMs?
