Sandie Hayes Posted 27 June , 2012 Share Posted 27 June , 2012 I'm hopeless at searching the London Gazette but I did find this: Lt Col C.S. Linton commanded 4th Battalion at the Battle of Poelcappelle, Ypres, on 09 October 1917 where he was awarded a bar to his existing DSO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theodore Posted 29 June , 2012 Author Share Posted 29 June , 2012 Hi Sandie, Thank you for the link and info. Still had no luck with the citation after another search on LG (does it exist I wonder?). Regards Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 29 June , 2012 Share Posted 29 June , 2012 Peter The citation for the Bar to the DSO, London Gazette #30614, 6th April 1918, Page 4196. Link is here...http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/30614/supplements/4196 Maj. (A./Lt.-Col.) Charles Strangway Linton, D.S.O., M.C., Worc. R. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. In the initial arrangements for an attack, which resulted in the capture of the first two objectives, as well as during the action and the consolidation after, he displayed marked ability and leadership as well as fearlessness in exposing himself when necessary.
