The London Gazette links have changed since I posted these, but the Gazette numbers should allow you to find them:

 

I'll try and update the links later.

was mentioned in a Despatch from

Lieutenant General G.F.Milne CB. D.S.O

dated 8th October 1916

for gallant and distinguished services in the Field.

I have it in command from the King to record His Majesty's

high appreciation of the services rendered

and it is signed Winston S. Churchill, Secretary of State for War
