Citation for M.B.E.:
16th January 1953
7 Training Regiment, Royal Signals 
  'Captain GILLINGS has been Quartermaster of 7 Training Regiment, Royal Signals for the past five years during which time, amongst his other duties, he has been responsible for clothing and equipping upwards of sixty thousand Regular and National Service recruits. It is mainly due to his persnal efforts in this line that the very high standard of dress and turn-out of the Royal Signals soldiers has been possible. 

  During his service with this Regiment, Captain GILLINGS has carried out his duties in a manner worthy of the highest praise. He has ever given his best and has in no way spared himself in the execution of his duty and in any other Unit activity. His little spare time has been devoted to interested of the Regiment, and in every way he has given far more than his duties require of him. 

  His conscientiousness, spirit of co-operation, loyalty, devotion to duty, and utter disregard of self have been an outstanding example to all ranks of the Regiment.' 


The medals are in good condition and are swing mounted for wear.
