5th
Battalion 2nd Punjab Regiment (missing, presumed killed) |
From a newspaper article: "A
Missing British Indian Army Officer. MAJOR S.
K. GHOSE, of the 2nd Punjab Regiment (5th Battalion), last employed as Deputy
Assistant Adjutant General in the 3rd Indian Corps in Malaya (under General Sir
Lewis M. Heath), embarked at Singapore at to P. M., the 13th February 1942 on
board the Motor-launch Pealing and sailed for Java. About 7 o'clock in the
morning of the 16th February 1942, this launch ran into a Japanese convoy at the
entrance to the Banka Straits and was shelled by a Japanese cruiser and sunk.
The only reported survivor- of the vessel was Lt.Col. R.H. Long, who last saw
Major Ghose swimming in the sea. A search for Major S.K. GHOSE should be made in
the Island of Banka and also in the S.E. coast of Sumatra, entrance to the
Straits of Banks, 105 E. Long. and 2 30' Lat. south of the Equator, about 100
miles north-east of Palembong, at sea. If he drifted west from the entrance to
the Banka Straits he would reach some place on the east coast of Sumatra, about
50 miles east of the mouth of the Sungei Lalang river, and 70 miles north of
Palembong and 60 miles north-east of Sekayil towns; search should be made there.
In case he was taken prisoner and removed, inquiries should be made for a man
resembling him in Siam and the Island of Hainan also. He may have been disabled
by wounds, and if still alive may be living with the native villagers and
fishermen, out of touch with the Allied Government authorities, or he may have
lost his memory. Major S.K. GHOSE was then (in February 1942) aged 37 years,
six feet tall, of athletic medium figure and the brown Hindu complexion, using
spectacles two full plates of false teeth. The photographs printed below give
only a vague idea of his appearance as the first was taken in 192(9?) and the
second in 1938, and he may hive grown a beard since his ship-wreck. Information
about him will be received and the expenses of inquiry will be paid by Sir
Jadunath Sarkar, Kt., C.I.E., P. 255 Lake Terrace, Calcutta." |

He studied piano, composition, and theory at the
Guildhall School of Music, London, then joined Decca Records as assistant artist
manager. Assigned to the development of Decca's classical-music catalogue, he
engaged and recorded several leading European orchestras. He moved to Canada in
1948 as a music producer for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Toronto. He
helped to develop the CBC's major radio series and was instrumental in the
formation of the CBC Opera Company in 1948, the CBC Symphony Orchestra in 1952,
and the CBC Talent Festival (1959-). He produced over 40 opera broadcasts
(including the North American radio premiere of Britten's Peter Grimes)
and was responsible for the CBC SO's weekly concerts and the recital series
'Distinguished Artists' until 1959, when he became assistant director of music.
He returned to production in 1962, assuming responsibility for 'Audio' (heard on
CJBC, Toronto), 'Continental Holiday' and 'Anthology'. Gibbs' talents, vivid
imagination, and boundless enthusiasm found fertile soil in the CBC's increased
activities on behalf of cultural development in the postwar years. He was
instrumental, particularly, in introducing radio audiences to new works of
English and Canadian composers. |

Inspector-General
of Prisons, Madras

Did his medicine in Edinburgh, practised in
Bolton, and returned to India with his Scottish wife Rena, to join the Indian
Medical Service. In 1930, the IMS was abolished and its members were given the
option of joining the defence services or one of the quasi-military services.
Gurdial Singh chose the Prisons Service. With the IMS he had served several
years in northwest India. The Prisons Department posted him to the South - and,
in time, Rena and he preferred it here. When Gurdial Singh retired, he was
Inspector General of Prisons, Madras.

Completing his articles, he practiced as a
solicitor first in Folkestone, Kent. Moving to Bristol in 1950, he specialised
professionally in Trusts, which required no court work of course, being very
deaf at this stage, but he could lip read effectively, though suffering tinnitus
badly. He finished his career as a partner in the firm of Meade King & Co,
retiring a little early in 1980. |

* Mr. Grimwood was with his wife on his lonely
farm in the South Kinangop area of Naivasha when it was attacked by Mau Mau
gangsters. The African quarters were set on fire and soon afterwards the
gang, estimated to be 50 strong, attacked the farmhouse. They used automatic
weapons, rifles and hand grenades, and they were well commanded and
controlled by bugle and whistle calls. One hand grenade was thrown in to the
kitchen and others were thrown on to the roof, while windows and doors were
broken. Mr. Grimwood remained cool and prepared to defend his farm. Armed
with a .300 rifle, he moved from window to window firing at the attackers.
He killed two terrorists and probably wounded others and kept the gang at
bay until a relief party arrived. As the gang retreated Grimwood attacked
and succeeded in killing a third man. By his courageous, calm and
intelligent actions he saved the occupants of the farm, and the Africans in
his labour lines, from being brutally murdered. |

His grandson writes: "My
Grandfather, Robert Groves mustered out in 1947 as a Lt.Col. and deputy
quartermaster of the BIA. He was granted the mayoralty of Camberley, Surrey,
where I was conceived. His three sons all joined up in 1940 in Delhi, one in the
air force and the two others in the army. My dad had Japanese as a language and
was made a Lt. in the allied intelligence branch and served in Burma, Malaysia
and in Indo-China. His immediately older brother became an infantry officer. His
oldest brother joined the RAF. My Dad ended his war-time career in Japan, as a
witness in the war-crimes trials, and was then sent back to India (Madras) from
whence he immigrated to Canada." |

His son writes: "Lt.
Groves served with the 14th or 15th Punjabi Regiments, but served most of
the war in allied intelligence (he was fluent in Japanese). He was an
acting Major at some point (I have his cary-all with his name and Major's
rank in Japanese)' and finished up his service in Japan at the War Crimes
Trials, but shipped back in late 1946 to Madras, where he left for Montreal." |
