Gallantry Awards and Battle Honours

Gallantry Awards and Battle Honours

The last war diary entry for battalion gives a very exact number for the gallantry awards made to the unit, but does not provide names.  There are also some awards for service with the battalion that were given at a later date, after the battalion was dissolved.  The list is derived from citations recorded in the National Archives and in the London Gazette.  These have been cross-referenced to other records to determine if the individual served with the battalion at the time of the award. The entries for Mentions in Dispatches can be uncertain, and further information would be welcomed.  Battle honours are from The Battle Honours of the Second World War 1939–45 and Korea 1950–53 (London: Army Museums Ogilvy Trust, 1978).
