The original recommendation states: ‘Staff Sergeant Georgeson ended his 22 years service with the Colours in 1983 having achieved the rank of Warrant Officer Class 2. He joined 34 (Northern) Signal Regiment (Volunteers) as a Non Regular Permanent Staff Staff Sergeant (SQMS) in 1983 and was posted to 90 Squadron. Since then he has given outstanding service, his contribution extending far beyond the bounds of his job description. He has made the most of the opportunity to continue to serve, and takes pleasure and pride in passing on his knowledge and experience to the volunteers, both officers and soldiers. In particular he had taken responsibility for organising and supervising the training of recruits. He takes personal interest in each one, not only from his own Squadron but also from Headquarters Squadron, and the results of his care and professional inspiration can be seen in the high quality young soldiers in both Squadrons. He has made available to the Regiment as a whole his interest and experience in, and his enthusiasm for, shooting and drill. He has played a major role in preparing the Regiment for a number of excellent parades. To all activities he has devoted effort and time far beyond the normal. He is an inspiration to all who come in contact with him and is entirely deserving of a military award for his loyal and dedicated contribution to the service.’


Raymond Stanley Guthrie Georgeson was born on 6 October 1943 and enlisted in the Royal Signals in 1959. His subsequent career saw him present at operations in Borneo starting in November 1964, and in Cyprus in 1976-78 with 259 Signal Squadron (West). He was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal as a Staff Sergeant in 1977, and subsequently served in Rhodesia in 1979-80 with 30 Signal Regiment, and in Germany 1981-83 with 2 Armoured Division HQ and Signal Squadron. Leaving the regular army in 1983, he joined the Territorial Army and was awarded the B.E.M. for Meritorious Service in the 1988 New Year’s Honours’ List.
