I liked him & we had many a laugh together. He had been a regimental instructor at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst before coming to us. <br />He never talked or boasted of his action which gained him the highest military honour for bravery on the field of combat. May God rest his soul.<br />Iam proud to have known him and to be able to call him my friend & colleague.<br /> My e-mail is paulcliff2@yahoo.com if you would like to communicate with me . I am now 81yrs. old and a retired male nurse.Regards,<br />Cliff CharlesworthAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16188147278538361799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31558164.post-678566785548008512012-09-06T17:47:54.973-04:002012-09-06T17:47:54.973-04:00g h eardley would be turning in his grave if he ne...g h eardley would be turning in his grave if he new how his son roy was carring on parading th vc like he was the one who won it Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31558164.post-72648385591420964952012-08-15T19:12:09.225-04:002012-08-15T19:12:09.225-04:00I am the great niece of George Eardley.

I was a young teenager when he died, and I can remember him showing me his medals but can't remember much that he said about them. Mr. Charlesworth - I would love to hear more! Roy, it would be good to hear from you, if you would like to get in touch. Please post a comment if you would like my details.

Eardley was a fine man who never spoke or boasted of his award for bravery although I questioned him on numerous occasions and pressed him to tell me of his exploit and his feelings at the time . He was cheerful at all times and much to be admired.<br /> Cliff Charlesworth.
