* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when acting as forward
observing officer. Whilst reconnoitring for a suitable position from which to
observe, he captured, single-handed, thirteen of the enemy in a house,
threatening them with his revolver. He was accompanied by one unarmed
signaller only at the moment, and by his cool and determined action was able
to hand over his prisoners to the nearest infantry unit.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty with his battery in a very
exposed position, when the enemy was attacking in echelon down slopes 800
yards away. Heavy fire was opened on. the battery, one detachment being wiped
out, and the gun put out of action, but this officer, by his courage and
coolness in sticking to it, enabled the battery to do great execution among
the massed enemy.

After holding the posts of house-surgeon at the
Victoria Hospital, Blackpool and Dr. Steevens's Hospital, Dublin, he came to
Northampton in 1933 as house surgeon to Mr. Wilson Stuart at the Manfield
Orthopaedic Hospital where, apart from the war years, he had an unbroken record
of service. During the second world war served as a Territorial Officer with the
Army in West Africa and France, being mentioned in dispatches and eventually
attaining the rank of colonel. After demobilization he was appointed surgeon to
the Manfield Orthopaedic and Northampton General Hospitals in 1946. He soon
became a well-known figure because of his interest in local politics, which
resulted in his becoming mayor of Northampton. Many will remember him on the
occasion of the B.M.A. Clinical Meeting in Northampton in April 1964 when he
carried out the duties of Branch president with distinction. He was involved in the Masons. |

understood, but not proven, to be the demolition of bridges and other
installations to delay the advance of the German forces during the Allied
evacuation. Allied soldiers hired a Greek ship, loaded with hay, to evacuate to
Crete. As they were trying to repair the engine, around 10:00 a.m. on April 29,
1941, two German aircrafts arrived and bombed the ship. Most soldiers jumped in
the sea. Major Doelberg, along with six other soldiers, died and was buried by
the villagers of Proastion (in southern Peloponnese) on the Kaminia (also called
Delfinia) beach. The ship was completely burned and it sank.

The son of a clergyman, John Downton came to
Queens' College (Cambridge) from St. John's School, Leatherhead, before
undertaking further religious studies at Lincoln Theological College, 1933.
However in 1937 he entered the probation service. In 1940 he was called up and
joined the Royal Norfolk Regiment. He was soon seconded
to help set up a new bat tle unit named the Highland Fieldcraft Training
Centre (HFTC). John's performance during the arduous and hazardous training was
impressive and he was promoted to company commander. In 1944 he was appointed to
the School of Infantry and posted to India where he joined a similar training
operation called Kitchener College. Kurt Hahn, who was moving Gordonstoun back
to Scotland in 1946 from its wartime residence in Wales, had heard about John's
HFTC experience and, after a meeting, invited him to come at once
to join the staff of the School. He thus began his teaching career in May
1947. He was an assistant housemaster at Meissner House until he became the
founding housemaster of Laverockbank House in 1949 and eventually took charge of
Hopeman Lodge in 1960. Though also called upon to teach some scripture and
chemistry, his main subject was mathematics which he taught with vigour and
alertness, reflecting his own enthusiasm for the subject, and imbuing his
students with confidence in themselves. He
created the School Combined Cadet Force unit. In 1976 he was given an OBE
for services with cadets. Hahn was less than enthusiastic about the school's
commitment to the CCF which was disbanded on Downton's retirement in 1976.
Remembered with affection by former colleagues and generations of pupils, an
exacting timekeeper at athletic events, John also founded the Gordonstoun
Concert Society and provided some wonderfully breezy outings of the sailing club
in Findhorn Bay. In 'retirement' he became a most distinguished and much-loved
member of the staff of Forres Academy for four years. He held passionately firm
to his religious beliefs throughout his life and was a member of Holy Trinity
Church, Elgin, delighting in organising the annual fund-raising walk along the
coastal paths of Moray. Invariably
courteous and charming, devoted to bringing out the best in his pupils
with kind words and encouragement, John is remembered as a very special teacher.
