Is there any chance the citation for Rfn. Pocock's Mentioned in Dispaches might be found in his service record? I have already checked the National Archives for his citation but had no luck. Any other info on Rfn. Pocock (like army number or DoB) is also very welcome. Rfn. Pocock was a member of 5 Platoon, F Company, 8th Rifle Brigade (11th Armoured Division).

Can just make it out from his medal card. On your original question I doubt that there will be any details of his MID on his records save for a mention that it was awarded. Edit: dob 2/8/1923, died 7/2/2021
I would like to apply for Rfn. Pocock's service files, for which I need his death certificate. How/where could I get it... or is anyone here able to provide a copy (with DoB and DoD given above: 2/8/1923 and 7/2/2021)?
The 1939 register gives his dob as 2/8/1923 and there is this corresponding death record:- First name(s) Frederick Arthur Last name Pocock Sex Male Birth year 1923 Birth date 02 Aug 1923 Death date 07 Feb 2021 Residence Newbury Postcode area RG Postcode district RG14 Postcode sector RG14 6 County Berkshire Country England Record set England & Wales Deaths 2007-2024 You can order a copy online from the GRO: General Register Office
