He was awarded the MC and also MID I’ve found but don’t know when/where and haven’t a clue how to find a citation? Any help would be appreciated andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 19 October , 2018 Share Posted 19 October , 2018 (edited) London Gazette gives citation here. But one of those clever forum pals can give you the anotated version that gives date and place of action.
