MBE War
« on: Sunday 10 November 13 17:05 GMT (UK) »
I had a copy of the full citation for my Dads MBE. He was Ralph George Bleach No S/108236 and won it at Monte Casino. I cannot find the print out and although I know hes names in the Gazette 1945 cant work out where to get the complete one. Any ideas please. Sorry he was a warrant officer RASC Ayr

Looking for Benham and Bleach Sussex also

What do you mean by the full thing? The entry is on page 2069 of 19 4 1945. Are you meaning a longer explanation as to why he got it?

Yes which is what I had. Someone on here sent it to me, long time back. Did try to access his records but isnt going to happen until I can get to Kew I think. Sent three times and no response.
