"...Major EJM Lawn was with British Royal Artillery, followed his father into the Regiment in 1941, at the age of 18. He had a hard war in Burma, including the 1st Arakan campaign where he served with 130th Field Regiment. The Journal of the Royal Artillery March 1995 describes one action:"... There was an emotional scene along the sea shore when the sadly depleted ranks of the battalions of 6 Brigade came streaming back cheering the gunners of 130 Field Regiment blazing away to keep the Japs in the jungle off".
