Thrilled to see Lt. R.K.Williams in your list for 'Mentioned in Despatches' - I am publishing his wartime letters on-line Chotie Darling . My mother told me he was given the oak leaf for lying among the German dead to gain information but since he fought in Normandy, Market Garden and the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge) I don't know when this was. Do you know how I could find out? Chotie's Daughter
