Without telling exact name, was it one of the awardee of that 7 July 1945 decree? Could you share with us some of the war-time stories of this recipient?
Yes, he was one of the 190 recipients. He was a career Navy guy; earned the Navy Cross along with many other awards. Absolutely fascinating guy. Even more interesting is that he had cut down the screwpost on the OGPW and the photo in the order book was of him wearing it!
I'd love to share the images of his awards, but I'm afraid the publisher wouldn't take too kindly to that...you're just going to have to buy the book when it comes out. :thumbsup
