Just did a bit of a "Google" and came up with this:-

CULPIN, Francis de Montfort, SL - Bronze Star - 461015 - RAF

The entry was on a list of American Awards to British and Commonwealth Personnel 1942-1949.

He was an Acting Squandron Leader.  I think that must be RAF.  There is an extract from The London Gazette on Google but am struggling with the link at the moment.

I  hope its the same person  :-\.

There is a tree on A******y suggesting that Sarah Florence's maiden name was Newman but I can't find anything to confirm that at the moment.
