59165 Posted 13 December , 2008 Share Posted 13 December , 2008 (By the way Hudsons whilstle - caution with the public referrral to carrot crunchers and the experience of London FRS, you cant be operational or you would know the truth!) He has actually been more operational than any FRS you can name.Were talking train crashes,tube incidents,airport & terrorist bus incidents,high rise fires ,squashed cyclists,car wrecks,murder/incendiary,suicidal pop stars,jumpers & basically all the stuff that you can only find in London & not the home counties. My apologies if this was inter county banter Dave. Oh,and some cats in trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Marshall Posted 26 May , 2009 Share Posted 26 May , 2009 The programme has just been repeated tonight and I thought it very good. I noticed the MSM ribbon on the chap identified as CSM Henry Hawtin so I popped off to the London Gazette for a moment or two. 14761 Cpl (A/CSM) Henry Hawtin RE was Mentioned in Despatches twice and was awarded the MSM. He was from Tralee, Co Kerry, Ireland. He also received the 1914 Star with dated clasp. Quite a war!

Henry Hawtin was later awarded the MBE in the Second World War as a Major (QM), being finally discharged in 1947. His elder brother A/Sjt Joseph Hawtin was KIA on the Somme with 1/Gordons in 1916 and both were Old Boys of the Duke of York's Royal Military School.
