His son writes: "When retired from the RCT he had attained the rank of Lt or

* Place: East Bengal and North Arakan. Date:
May to December 1942. He has commanded 123rd Indian Infantry Brigade since
August 1941 with marked success. Before the advance of the Division into the
Arakan, he was responsible for organising the defence of Chittagong, which
he did most efficiently. Since then his Brigade has led the advance of the
Division southwards against all sorts of difficulties and under conditions
of considerable discomfort and hardship, and latterly against strong enemy
opposition. His able leadership, both on the operational and administrative
side, has had marked influence on the campaign, and resulted in a deep
advance into territory held by the enemy and the maintenance of the
initiative by our forces. |

* In establishing and developing the L of C
Road Transport on the INDO-BURMA Front, Colonel HOLMES has shown himself to
be a most able and energetic organiser. He has had to meet the opposition
which inevitably attends the launching of any new venture, but he has
overcome this by the results achieved if in no other way. Under his
direction, record quantities of supplies and stores were transported night
and day to 4th Corps until the very evening on which the road was cut by the
enemy, and, but for his efforts, the reserves at the disposal of troops in
the IMPHAL plain during these current operations must have been appreciably
less.

An obituary reads: "Colonel Robert John Holmes,
O.B.E., a resident of Mission for over 35 years, died on Nov. 10, 1989 at
Mission Memorial Hospital. Born in the County of Londonderry, Northern Ireland,
Bob (as he was known by his many friends in Mission and Matsqui) was always an
adventurous person. At 16, he found himself in the Northwest Frontier of India
and for nine years, endured the rigours of malaria and other tropical diseases.
Then came another nine years in the interior of China. He was captured by the
Chinese and held for ransom. On the day appointed for his execution, he escaped!
During World War II he was Commander of Motor Transport on the Burma Road in
support of the 14th Army. He was appointed by General Alexander. He controlled
both military and civilian transport. Under his command were 22,000 Indian and
1,000 British troops. He built a military airport, but his main responsibility
was to control and deliver the supplies needed to maintain the 14th Army. More
than 88,000 tons per month were transported over some of the most treacherous
roads in the world and under frequent encounters with Japanese forces. He
succeeded in preventing the Japanese from penetrating the hill area and gaining
egress to the Plains and into India itself. For his service, he was honored with
the Order of the British Empire. Soon after he and his wife Ruby settled in
Mission, Bob acquired the ownership of Holmes Motors on First Avenue. Later, he
obtained the qualifications in Real Estate from the University of British
Columbia in the field of appraisals. He proceeded with advanced studies in
municipal administration, taxation, and finance. Until his retirement, he was
Chief Assessor for the district of Matsqui. Each year since, he has served on
the Court of Revision. Colonel Holmes is survived by his wife, Ruby, three
brothers and a sister in Northern Ireland, and a sister in England." |
