A Second War ‘Advance through the Gothic Line’ M.M. awarded to Corporal S. Manock, Royal Signals, who was Mentioned in Despatches for his work at Cassino


Military Medal, G.VI.R. (2346401 Cpl. S. Manock. R. Signals.) in named card box of issue, extremely fine £800-£1,200


M.M. London Gazette 20 September 1945: ‘For gallant and distinguished services in Italy.’


The original Recommendation states: ‘This N.C.O has been in charge of the line party from the River Garigliano. Mentioned in Despatches for his work at Cassino, he has, since that time, continued to set the highest example to his line team. During the advance through the Gothic Line countless instances occurred when it was necessary for line to be laid in daylight, under shellfire, and, indeed, enemy observation. On all these occasions Corporal Manock consistently took the major and most dangerous share of the work upon his own shoulders. During the time that HQ 1 Guards Brigade was at Fontanelice, the lines were continuously cut by shellfire; Corporal Manock, entirely on his own initiative, always proceeded in person to discover and mend the breaks and this although the shelling had seldom ceased. His devotion to duty and conscientious endeavours to keep communications at all times, were a source of inspiration to his team, and reflected courage of a high order.’


M.I.D. London Gazette 19 July 1945: ‘For gallant and distinguished services in Italy.’


Stanley Manock, a native of Levenshulme, Manchester, served during the Second World War as a Corporal with the Royal Signals. ‘Attached to an Infantry Brigade, he has, with a fellow signaller, laid more than 200 miles of telephone line since he went to North Africa in 1942. At Cassino they had a dreadful time. For three days they were under constant shell fire yet they kept open a phone line on the main road to Rome. His experience have been many and varied. Many times he has done his work under the worst conditions possible and yet by sheer courage and determination he has won through. All honour to him.’ (newspaper cutting with lot refers).
