Previously, Gallenghan was the commanding officer of the 2/30th Infantry Battalion, AIF, having seen action in the defence of Malaya in early 1942. Initially, the Allied Prisoners of War were directed by their Japanese captors to sign an illegal document stating that they would not undertake to try & escape from captivity. The defiant Allied POW's, bar three, refused to sign. The POW were then moved into a smaller compound & had their rations greatly reduced, and placed under direct threat of execution. As their situation seemed dire & with serious illness increasing daily at an alarming rate, Lt-Col Galleghan chose to issue this order & therefore save the lives of the 15,000 Allied prisoners under his command. Feeling that he had no choice after the breakdown of negotiations with the senior Japanese Officer, Galleghan produced this epic speech. The order to sign the document was given & Australian & British lives were saved. After the War, Galleghan was to head the Australian Military Mission to Germany in 1948-49 & was instrumental in finding for many displaced persons, a new beginning & new hope in Australia. Hon Major-General Sir Frederick Gallagher 'Black Jack' Galleghan DSO, OBE, ISO, ED. Was knighted in 1969 & passed away in 1971.

In the early morning, covered by the noise of a machine gun barrage, the party managed to get near the place. The Germans fired a flare, betraying their exact position, and two of them presently came towards the party, but when twenty years away, detected it and ran. The patrol at once gave chase, killing one & rushing the post where another German was killed and captured NCO in charge. Lt.

Noteworthy in his achievements was the reconstruction of demolished quays and shore installations in the ports of Bengasi in November/December 1942, and Tripoli in January/February 1943. In particular at Tripoli, it was primarily due to his initiative, resolution and technical ability that within one month of the capture of the Port, it was possible to receive on 22nd February and succeeding days nearly three million gallons of petrol into bulk storage reservoirs which the enemy had demolished, as he certainly thought, beyond the possibility of repair. This achievement played a vital part in the maintenance of the Eighth Army for its advance into Tunisia." 1938 Graduation list of officers indicates Topham received the Territorial Force War Medal in addition, but this is unlikely and is not confirmed by research.
