    Geoff listed all NWE citations, so you can do a simple 'control & f' search for the unit
    WO 373 Awards North West Europe
    Full theatre and catalogue listings here Geoff's WO 373 lists

    The links on the table takes you to the TNA individual result search page but you dont need them.

    Take a note of the Cat. No and the Gazette date and download the Cat. file using the spreadsheet here...

    All images are filed in
    Gazette date order,
    then by Medal order (DSO, MC, DCM, MM) and
    then by regimental seniority on the army list.

    At the start of each new date TNA included a copy of the Gazette, handy to check that to get a rough idea of where an individual citation should be. There are no indexes but as they say 'practice makes perfect' and it's quite possible to locate a citation within a couple of minutes.
