World War Two / Mentioned in Despatches

My father-in-law was mentioned in despatches in North Africa 1943. It was gazetted in November 1943. The incident took place in May 1943. He was mentioned for his part in saving some American airman from a plane that had crashed in to the sea. He was 1435081 Bombardier Albert G Littleton
Any idea where I could find a copy of the citation?

Hi Jonathan C, Many thanks for that . I last saw it more than 50 years ago and then it was post war rather run down.

Older generation family members owned/managed the ROSE OF LEE public house at Lee. Can anyone tell me where I can find a photo of this pub? I live in OZ, a bit far to come to photograph.

Hi Louisa,
Thanks for replying. I have seen that site and noted him as surviving. I'm wondering how I can access his naval records without anything other than his name.
Regards,
Don Hudson (Foulsham)

Edward Hudson was a telegraphist/wireless operator on HMS Prince of Wales when it was sunk by the Japanese in 1941. He survived the sinking, but was captured by the Japanese at Singapore and was prisoner of war for the duration. I believe he died at a relatively early age after the war.
He was a member of my family, but I have no idea of when he was born, or who his parents were.
Any suggestions welcomed.

Wow! What a response.
Jorose thanks for all that. I've searched the shipping lists to see if he went to Australia/USA/canada, but couldn't find anything. I'll follow up your other suggestions. The 'B' may stand for Bennington as well. Some family connection?

Laird of Kings Lynn. The info came from a birth certificate. He fathered a child , Vera Lilian Greig, by Hester Louise Holland in 1895. vera died in a mental hospital in 1921. I can't find a marriage certificate.

In 1901 Hester is working as a barmaid in Clerkenwell Road, London, she gives her age as 26(she was born in 1871) spinster. In 1903 she married Walter Benjamin Groves as Hester L Greig widow(Can't find a death for John Arthur Greig) formerly Holland.

Lizdb, I think the above may answer your question.
