Re: DFC Citation Needed
Steve,
My understanding of the citations in the London Gazette, is that if an award was posted to the LG, without a citation (which happened in numerous cases; the New Years Honours, and Birthday Honours, in particular, but also most awards of the DFM), then almost by definition, there is no citation anywhere. What you would have to do in this case is to locate the recommendation for the DFC you are interested in, which can be found in Air 2 at the NA/PRO. Unfortunately this is not indexed. I no longer have the details of how to locate the entry in Air 2. Someone here may know (you have to call someone deep within the RAF), or the staff at NA/PRO should be able to advise you.
Enjoy!
Frank.
