ARABIS Posted 26 October , 2010 Share Posted 26 October , 2010 Only one Edward Cooper awarded a DSM 1914-20, & that is the one in the link provided by mmm45. "The following awards have been approved for services in action with enemy submarines". David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per ardua per mare per terram Posted 30 October , 2010 Share Posted 30 October , 2010 No ciation on this though There are often no ciations for DSMs, but there are often the original Admiralty recommendation files held at the UK National Archives, Kew that could be consulted there.
