Mach Posted June 3, 2012 Share #32 Posted June 3, 2012 British Gallantry awards were not just handed out, especially in WW2 and there was a process where the citation was looked at and approved. I am very curious if he got it for ops to do with the RAF(esp since he stayed in the CBI maybe Burma..) or was it a award by the Brits for the Doolittle Raid. Whatever the case, it is a rare award to a US NCO, correctly engraved :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicjoy1945 Posted June 4, 2012 Share #38 Posted June 4, 2012 :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: WOW...that is an incredible grouping !! As Kurt states, the DFC should be numbered and is traceable to its recipient...thanks to Al Gliem. You'll need a British researcher to pull the original recommendation for the British DFM which is very rare as awarded to an American. I'd be surprised if the DFM was awarded for the Doolittle Raid though...my guess is that you would see more of them if this was the case...or...at least have heard of them !! He must have performed some flying duties in connection with the RAF in Burma at some point during the war. Again...just superb grouping !!
