Thanks JPL - always interesting to see lists like these.

I thought it read rather strangely - most of the Awards are to Commanding Officers - most of the more straightforward MID's and Commendations to O/R's. Perhaps I am reading it out of context - there may well be other Award lists made recently. I just got the feeling that it was rewards for the people who sat in offices. Please tell me I'm wrong ?

Hi Mervyn,

Yes, would be nice to add any citations instead of keeping us guessing.

Here is the link to the London Gazette website and this "Official list" does contain a bit more information for a few of the recipients. It also contains a small number of US awards to British troops that were not listed in the MOD press release. Here is the link to the 8 page Supplement - use the NEXT button to navigate to the other pages:
