Josef Frantisek - Bar to the DFM?

Hello again.

I'm still researching Czech BoB ace Josef Frantisek who flew with 303 Sqn.

Frantisek's DFM is easy to find in the London Gazette http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/34958/pages/5791 on 1 Oct 1940 but I can't find his alleged bar to the DFM anywhere in the Gazette.

I know that the search feature isn't too good on the Gazette site, but I've looked at many different dates for the award (as suggested on various sites) but I cannot find the Gazette entry anywhere.

The only other possibility I've thought of is that posthumous DFMs were not Gazetted.

Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks,

Jon
