3 Bomb Disposal Company.

Posted in the London Gazette on the 19th November 1943.

Awarded for work at various sites at: Grimsby and Cleethorpes, Linconshire between the 15 to 22 June 1943.

Lt Tommy Thomas dealt with seventy three SD2's (Butterfly bombs) armed, between the 15th to 22 nd June, and forty six in two containers. The second day saw him at the Co-Op in  Freeman Street, one device was on the floor of a room, with another hanging through the ceiling. He erected a scaffold and placed a demolition charge on it, he surrounded the one below with sandbags, both were detonated together and a third on a roof a short distance away went of in sympathy.

He also found one at Forrester and Boyd Accountants, in a false roof. He could not remove it by pulling it along the roof as the chute got caught up. The fins caught and the cord broke, returned put on a stronger cord and pulled, it exploded.

Thenext day another roof job, this one on the Ministry of Food. The device was minus drogue, so he could not attach a cord, he made a sling of adhesive tape and taking a risk attached it around the device. It was then lifted out of the roof, it exploded but caused little damage as it was clear of the roof.
