The original recommendation by Lieutenant Colonel E. Boggis, Commanding 58th (Middlesex) Searchlight Regiment, R.A. (T.A.), states: ‘This N.C.O. is worthy of special commendation for his leadership and achievements as a Detachment Commander throughout the war. A pre-war Territorial soldier, he was an inspiration to his subordinates during the recent time his Troop was detached in Scotland. Although the climatic conditions were deplorable and conditions bad, he maintained a high spirit throughout, and his shots are consistently among the best in the Regiment. Did well in action against the enemy by himself manning the Lewis Gun against the enemy on many occasions in 1942 and 1943.’
Henry John Holborow was born in Brentford, Middlesex, on 17 September 1916. He married Doris Emily Davis at St. Pancras in April 1943 and was later awarded the B.E.M. whilst serving with 31st Anti-Aircraft Brigade, 5th Anti-Aircraft Division. Recorded in 1945 as a resident of School House, Camden, he later retired to King’s Lynn, Norfolk, where he died on 16 October 1993.
