SE9Medals Posted 1 December , 2018 Share Posted 1 December , 2018 Hi, it's probably a unique combination, but does anyone know a list of recipients who received both the DSC and MM during WW1? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 1 December , 2018 Share Posted 1 December , 2018 You would probably be looking for a rating or RMLI OR awarded the MM with the RND and later transferred to sea service with a commission to win the DSC. I have been unable to identify such an officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 2 December , 2018 Share Posted 2 December , 2018 With an extended search outside WW1 I have found only one candidate but DCM instead of MM:- David James GOWNEY DSC DCM MiD RMLI. As a corporal (Portsmouth/5082 RMLI), awarded DCM in 1901 for operations in China the previous year:- https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/27337/supplement/4916 Awarded DSC January 1915 as lieutenant RMLI for RND operations at Antwerp in October 1914:- https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29024/supplement/5 MiD at Gallipoli as captain RMLI:- https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29251/supplement/7667 Still no candidate for DSC and MM awarded in WW1.
