PO/X105331 Marine Roy Emsley from Burnley was awarded the Military Medal for gallant and distinguished service in Normandy.
Served in 'B' Troop.
Recommendation
During the attack in Port-En-Bessin on 7th June Marine Emsley was seriously wounded by a German mortar bomb. Despite his injuries he continued to give supporting fire with his bren and throughout showed an excellent offensive spirit.
By this fine act and devotion to duty Marine Elmsley very materially assisted the advance and final success of his comrades.
