APPENDIX V.
LIST OF HONOURS AND AWARDS.
In compiling this list of Honours and Awards the following rules have
been adhered to:--
1. The Rank and Regimental Number given are those held by the
individual at the time the decoration was won. It thus follows
that, in several cases, the same name occurs more than once but
with a different rank and sometimes with a different regimental
number.
2. Only Honours and Awards conferred on officers, warrant
officers, non-commissioned officers and men for services
rendered _while actually serving with the Battalion_ have
been included.
The length of the list might be considerably increased by including
such names as Brig.-General R. E. Sugden, who was awarded the C.M.G.
while he was G.O.C., 151st Infantry Brigade; Lieut.-Col. J. Walker,
who received the D.S.O. and Bar and the French Legion d’Honneur while
he was in command of the 5th Battalion Duke of Wellington’s Regt.; and
several other officers. Many N.C.O.’s and men, such as Sergt. F. E.
Lumb, D.C.M., also won decorations whilst attached to such units as the
147th Infantry Brigade H.Q., the 147th Machine Gun Company, and the
147th Light Trench Mortar Battery.
