M.I.D. Gazetted 19 Sep 1946. George Reginald Perkins worked as a butcher with an address of Chapel St., Hingham, nr. Norwich, Norfolk, before attesting with the 92nd Battery 14 (Bedfs. & Herts.) Med. Regt., Royal Artillery on 24 Aug 1937, being evacuated from Dunkirk and then serving with 1 Commando. Perkins is recorded as recorded as being wounded when serving with 1 Commando in North Africa at the Battle of Sedienane on 27 Feb 1943. His Release Certificate records the following from his Commanding Officer: "Sgt.
