A well documented MM group to Corporal L.P. Tye, Highland Light Infantry, Military Medal, G.VI.R. (14725302 A.Cpl. L,P, Tye. H.L.I.), 1939-1945 Star, France & Germany Star, Defence and War Medals, light contact marks to first therefore generally extremely fine, mounted for wearing, with M.M. card box of issue dated 24.1.46, Soldier's Service and Pay Book, bonnet hat with regimental badge and tailor's label inscribed to recipient, identity tags and original documents and photographs of the recipient in military uniform MM London Gazette 24 January 1946 No.14725302 Corporal (acting) Leslie Paul Tye, The Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regiment) (Retford). Joining the Bn in September 1944 at Helmond as a Private Soldier Cpl Tye has fought through the campaigns of Holland and Germany with great determination, courage and loyalty. In battle his coolness under fire and clear judgement has gained for him. At Moyland woods on the 14th February 45 whilst still a private during a particularly unpleasant engagement, when the company was under direct fire from an enemy SP gun, he crawled forward on his own initiative to within 50 yards to knock out the gun with two well aimed shots. Returning to his section to find his section commander had been wounded Cpl Tye immediately rallied his section and led them on to their final objective. Again on the 27th March during the very heavy fighting that preceded the break out from the Rhine bridgehead this NCO's cheerfulness and unfailing devotion to duty did much to inspire his men. During one attack that day when the company came under direct fire from small arms and "flak" guns thus holding the forward platoons up. Cpl Tye whose section was then in reserve personally and with great gallantry led his section to attack the enemy post from the rear. So determined was this attack that post surrendered, thus enabling the company to gain his objective. Throughout the campaigns this NCO has set a constantly high standard of gallantry and unfailing devotion to duty. His coolness under fire, cheerfulness and courage has been an inspiration to all. The fine example set by this NCO is beyond all praise. (1)
