Bill Smy Posted 15 August , 2005 Share Posted 15 August , 2005 I am looking for the citations for the following for General Dempsey CBE KCB DSO MC Only the MC is a First World War award, but by chance someone may have the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armourersergeant Posted 15 August , 2005 Share Posted 15 August , 2005 You may want to try the London Gazette. Or if you have access the Times archive search facility. Sometimes the access to this is open. Sorry cant be more help regards Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 15 August , 2005 Share Posted 15 August , 2005 He was in the Royal Berkshire Regiment. Their Museum (in Salisbury) has a good website - www.thewardrobe.org.uk - and is an extremely good and helpful place. try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 15 August , 2005 Share Posted 15 August , 2005 It's strange that he isn't very well represented on the Web - apart from D-Day and general references on the NW Europe campaign. You won't find 'citations' for the KCB - oh, and by the way he ended up a KBE too - as they're Orders. His DSO was for command of 13 Infantry Brigade at Dunkirk. By the way, he gave orders that his personal papers be destroyed on his death - and they were. I wonder why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
