A friend of my Grandfather is listed as being "Mentioned in Despatches" in the John Birt book 22nd Dragoons, Story of a Regiment.. Can anyone tell me how to obtain details of this award? His name was Sergeant George Thurgood. I have done some searches on the TNA website but have not found anything. Thanks Simon
a listing in the London Gazette is the best you'll get. 7909024 Sergt. G. Thurgood. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/36994/supplement/1549
Thanks Owen What exactly does "Mentioned in Despatches" mean? How come we are unable to get the details? Simon
