toofatfortakeoff Posted 17 August , 2005 Share Posted 17 August , 2005 Corporal Billy Mills RFA of Barton upon Humber died upon Le Varsoux after exchange of POWs in the Persian Gulf. He was apparently awarded the DCM but I can't find his gazetting.I spoke to his cousin a few years ago who said he did win it for signalling under shellfire or something. Hu Kno? Any info in any shape of form graticatiously receded. He was a civil service man in India prior to the War . Thanks a lot Seanuio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
