    I am new to this forum, so please forgive any ignorance of your specialised subject. I usually research the dead of WW1, where there seems to be more information in the public domain. However, a friend has asked me to find out some further information about a relative (named above). What he does know is:

    Born Hamilton, New Zealand 1917
    Flew with 57 Sqdn from Sept 1941 and 109 Sqdn from Sept 1943.

    DFC 21/4/1944 - Bar 13/10/1944
    DSO 17/7/1945
    Croix De Guerre 21/4/1945.

    He survived and died in 1997 in the UK. I am trying to find any further information including the citations for the awards - London Gazette entries found but no citations.

    Any help would be much appreciated
