Dear FLEET-DCS FOICELL-f (MULTIUSER),

Please forgive me but I was under the impression two members of 771
Squadron recieved the Gorge Medal - there was no mention of this in
your report

Yours sincerely,

Paul Ashby

Dear Mr Ashby

Thank you for your email in relation to our response to your Freedom of
Information request. Unfortunately, as my letter said, the information
you requested is not held centrally by us and to retrieve this would
involve cross referencing data held within different individual files
and databases, exceeding our costs limit for responding to requests. Our
records are held by surname and therefore, without the individuals name
I cannot confirm what medals were awarded.
Awards are announced in the London Gazette and are available at major
public libraries or research institutions such as the National Archives
at Kew. The London Gazette is also available on the website:
www.gazettes-online.co.uk

I hope this assists you further.

Regards
