In researching my family it appears the above was awarded the DFC possibly with a bar, I have tried the London Gazette (online version) and this seems to confirm its award but not when and I can't find a citation. Any ideas or help would be great. Regards Ali
the DFC was only awarded to WO(mainly immediate awards) and above not to F/Sgt. 1534404 Norman WESTBY (177634). 1 june 1944
Hi, 1 June 1944 is the date Norman is listed as being promoted to Flt Sgt, this being in the Supplement to the LG 25th July 1944. He is later listed as a Flight Lt with a DFC, so trying to track down when and then hopefully why he got DFC. Thanks for looking. Ali
Hi Try searching the LG with 177634. This will show his DFC as P/O. with 35 Sqn on 21/9/45 but without Citation unfortunately. Kew is about the only place you may find it. Cheers Eddie
Hi Ali Recommendations, are I believe held in Air/2 but are not indexed and thus hard to find so I'm told. I have no personal experience chasing these. Cheers Eddie
