Sorry, I've nothing after DA&QMG 10 Corps, Italy and then, as you've probably noted from CWGC, General Staff, originally buried Diepholz.

(This is one of my MiD lists - once I stumble across one for a unit, I feel compelled to complete them all and this one has a few individuals with an interesting service history.
Was difficult finding anything other than basics on internet: linked above. In fact I couldn't find the second Mention as per CWGC entry. The Previous Awards listing on CBE & DSO gives date of 15 December 1941 and I could only find the one - 15 December 1942)
