The Governor-General, The Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy has acknowledged the recent passing of John Gregson, GC.
“Mr Gregson will be remembered for an act of extraordinary courage when he saved the life of a wounded ship-mate after their ship, SS Deucalian was torpedoed in 1942. He was one of the very few people to receive the George Cross, the highest award for gallantry awarded to civilians.”
