Died of Wounds – 28th August 1952
Michel Banbury was born in Blaby, Leicestershire. He enlisted in the Royal Artillery on 7th December 1950 and served with the 61st Light Regt in Korea.
On the 13th August 1952, the 1st and 2nd Bns of the Royal Australian Regt commenced an active patrol programme to capture a Chinese prisoner, with Banbury and his unit acting in support. He and his comrades deployed their mortars in the open and were consequently exposed to counter-battery work from the Chinese. On the 27th August, Banbury and several of his fellow gunners were wounded. He was wounded by a shell splinter in the abdomen and was evacuated to 8055th MASH where he died the following day.
