roysmith Posted 26 September , 2007 Share Posted 26 September , 2007 I have tried unsuccessfully to find information on John Seymour Ashley. He served throughout the war - 5 years - and won the DCM and MM and was mentioned by Sir Archibald Murray in despatch. I would appreciate help or guidance to locate info. Regards and thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
