| Notes |
German Luger P08 1940 - 42 pistol, WW2 Brought back from WW2 by 2-Lt John Ross McCullough MM, 21st Infantry Battalion, A Company, 9 Platoon. John McCullough was awarded a Military Medal in relation to an incident at Orsogna near Sangro, when his Company Commanding Officer was killed and he took charge of the company and led an attack on a German position taking 30 prisoners. It is likely that the pistol was acquired about this time. The incident is recorded in 21 Battalion by JF Cody, Official History of New Zealand in the Second World War 1939-1945, War History Branch, New Zealand, 1953, see pp293-294 “New plans were made by Divisional Headquarters for taking Orsogna - “The barrage opened at 1 a.m. and half an hour later the attack went in… near Point 332, when 9 Platoon lost several men in a mortar concentration. The company then swung to the right and moved parallel with the road until held up with grenades and Spandau fire in 8 Platoon’s area. Corporal Jack McCullough rallied his section and led an attack against the nearest post. This broke up the opposition and 30 prisoners were taken. By a quarter to three A Company was consolidating its objective…" |
