SteveE Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Harold Gibson's DSO Listing can be found Here It would appear to have been awarded as part of the New Years Honours, my understanding of which is that there will be no citation gazetted. Hope this helps Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisharley9 Posted 6 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Steve My thanks for your very swift reply - I never will get used to the Gazette search engine All The best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Chris It would appear likely from the NA MIC's online Here that Harold Gibson was also Mentioned In Dispatches. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveE Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Chris No problem, glad to help. I'll see if I can find his MID but they're notoriously difficult to find in the Gazette, may take some time. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
