While working on another book, which listed the honors by name, do you think it is possible that the C.M.G. I asked about could be Companion of Saint Michael and Saint George?

In the listings for names, from this book it has: 200239 C.S.M. T. G. Milne I know the number is the persons military number, his surname is Milne, and T.G. are his initials. Do you know what C.S.M. I also have others with R.S.M. These men received the Distinguished Conduct Medal if that makes a difference.

Judy, CSM = Company Sergeant Major RSM= Regimental Sergeant Major (a bit hazy about this - each battalion in a regiment had an RSM , don't know how the difference was denoted for the head RSM for the whole regiment. Maybe just " RSM x Bn" & "RSM y Regt.". I also thought that RSM & CSM were titles, not ranks.) Suggest you refer for general information to http://www.diggerhistory.info/ (the site covers stuff for both friends & foe) and specifically http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-medals/history.htm Regards, From Oz, Dave Judy White wrote: > While working on another book, which listed the honors by name, do you think > it is possible that the C.M.G.
