Roland Degg
Roland Degg (10 February 1909, Hednesford, Staffordshire - 2001) was a battalian commander during World War II. He was commissioned in the field and appointed second-in-command of his battalion when it formed part of Brigadier Michael Calvert's 77th Brigade - one of five brigades in Special Force, which was committed to action behind Japanese lines in 1944.
He won a Distinguished Service Order while commanding the 1st Battalion of the South Staffordshire Regiment during the Chindits operations in Burma.
==Before the World War II==
Educated at Chadsmoor Boys' School. At 13 he left school to work at the Huntington Colliery as a "nipper", also with duties looking after the pit ponies. During the General Strike in 1926, he left the pit to enlist in the South Staffordshire Regiment, initially to get three square meals a day. His early service was with the 2nd Battalion in Malta, Palestine, Egypt and India. He was Lance Corporal in 1931, later a full Corporal in "A" company, and captained the battalion football team in 1934. His football skills were responsible, the next year, for his posting to the 1st Battalion at Aldershot as they made a bid for the Army cup. He remained with the 1st Battalion and by 1937 was a Sergeant, one of only three selected as escort to the regimental colours of King George VI.〔
