    That's all that I have.
    I'm afraid there are some missing pages but after a search I see that they must have been skipped at the time. However with the 3 editions posted here hopefully there is an overlap.

    Hi Diane,

    The RBL in ROI are internally circulating a scanned repro of this original document. I intend adding all of the detail you have extracted on this thread to make it searchable - which is a damned more useful object. I would like to add your name to the acknowledgements since you have done most of the work.
    Would you please contact me and let me know your detail at rbl.limerick[at]gmail.com. We are on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LimerickRBL -are we friends?

    As regards the award to a Wing Commander C Appleton, I am unable to find any details on this person being from Ireland, but he is mentioned under awards to Irishmen. Please advise

    I notice, unfortunately the SYMBOL rather than the old image :-(

    Are these previous images recoverable now somehow? Or are they lost permanently?

    Interested in the ref. re... "Sergeant John Thomas Caulfield"

    All the best,

    Rm.

    Yes, unfortunately.

    If it's any consolation, these were only excerpts from citations.

    These references were useful in the days when the recommendation files couldn't be downloaded for free and each had to be paid for on individual basis, at £3.50 per click.

    Thanks,

    There is, incidentally this...

    https://www.lotsearch.net/lot/the-o...ond-world-war-north-west-europe-1944-46950425

    Many mysteries still though too, otherwise... as it is not an easy name to look up, to hopefully one day find further, biographical info on...

    All the best,

    Rm.

    Edit - see also... http://ww2talk.com/index.php?search/11492414/&q=Caulfield&o=date&c[user][0]=59024

    There is "just a chance"... but perhaps, possibly... this was "his" tank too...

    B5416
    THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE NORMANDY CAMPAIGN 1944
    Object description
    A Sherman Firefly tank of 24th Lancers, 8th Armoured Brigade, near St Leger, 11 June 1944.
    T148496

    Or his 24th L tank is seen in the "A" Squadron Firefly troop here...
    Nr. Bayeux or Tilly Sur Seulles - could anyone help further identify where these Sherman tanks are?
