Middlesex Regiment

A Great War Palestine operations M.M. awarded to Private F. Clifford, 2/10th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment

Military Medal, G.V.R. (293611 Pte. F. Clifford, 2/10 Middx. R.-T.F.), good very fine

M.M. London Gazette 18 July 1917.

Frederick Clifford first entered a theatre of war in 1916, or later. His M.M. was likely awarded in respect of gallant work in the First or Second Gaza battles and he later transferred to the Essex Regiment.

At the First Battle, the 2nd Battalion, 10th Middlesex Regiment attacked The Labyrinth, to the south-west of Gaza, achieving a position overlooking the town. The unfortunate withdrawal from the captured positions led to the Battalion being sent up again the following morning, by which time the Turks had rallied and managed to drive the whole advance back. At the Second Battle three weeks later, the Battalion took part in the costly attack against Samson Ridge which, although captured and outposts sent beyond, had to be abandoned later the same day.
