Frank Thank you for pointing out the London Gazette. http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveSearch.asp?WebType=0&Referer=WW2 For confirmation of imperial awards to Australian forces see the Australian War Memorial Honours and Awards (Gazetted) database at: http://www.awm.gov.au/database/h_award.asp This database lists all gallantry and meritorious Imperial (but not long service and Royal Victorian Order) awards to the Australian forces from the Boer War to the present day. All mention in dispatches are recorded and all entries have the date and page of the London Gazette and/or Commonwealth of Australia Gazette. Be aware that most promulgation of awards appear in supplements to the London Gazette and that the date of the supplement is often between one and four days later than the original gazette.
