Bodge Deep Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Mrs Bodges Grandfather passed away yesterday and despite chatting to him whenever I got the chance about his time in the RAF during the war as an LAC working on bombers as an H2s fitter, we (wife & I) only found out today (as is often the case) that he was mentioned in Despatches in January 1945! Is there any way of finding out what he did that was worthy of such a mention? Any help would be much appreciated (not to mention prove to the missus that all my time spent gawking at HMVF is not wasted time!!!). many thanks....

M.Rimmer Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Bodge, Sorry to hear about your loss. Most MID's will be in the London Gazette,if you google Mentioned In Despatches London Gazette there are several pages which may help. I have obtained records from the Gazette in the past and found them to be most helpful. Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
