A Second War 1944 North West Europe ‘Nijmegan Bridgehead’ ‘Immediate’ M.M. group of five awarded to Sergeant W. Reddall, Hampshire Regiment Military Medal, G.VI.R. (5493412 Sjt. W. Reddall, Hamps. R.); 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, mounted court-style, extremely fine (5) £1,000-£1,400 --- M.M. London Gazette 5 April 1945: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in North West Europe.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘On 8 November 1944 during the fighting in the Nijmegan bridgehead near Bemmel, Sergeant Reddall was Platoon Sergeant of a platoon who were within 150 yards of the enemy. German S.S. men got up into the top floor of a house with a spandau and began to snipe Sergeant Reddall’s Company. Sergeant Reddall crept forward with a Piat and hit the house three times. It was completely burnt out with the Germans inside, and later a patrol found the remains of two burnt-out spandaus in the top room. Sergeant Reddall’s gallantry and offensive spirit were a fine example for the men of his platoon.’
