[QUOTE="JonnoB, post: 60333, member: 4847"] Hi, sorry about the delay in replying. The three men who received awards for service in the Sea Reconnaissance Unit were, Sergeant Patrick Colgan MM, Royal Air Force. Lieutenant James Edward Turpin MC, Royal West Kent Regiment. Flight-Lieutenant G Harry Avery MC, Royal Canadian Air Force. Not mentioned but I believe he also received a MC for his service in the SRU was Major Edward Henry Muldoon MC, Gold Coast Regiment, Royal West African Frontier Force. I've found information on the interweb for all of the above, except Lieutenant J E Turpin. Major E H Muldoon's medals were sold at Christies [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-a-most-unusual-second-world-war-mc-1757651/[/URL] Details of his award are given by Christies. The founder of the unit, Lt Comdr Bruce S Wright, Royal Canadian Navy, received a long service award - the CD, any other awards he may have received are unknown to me. [/QUOTE]
