223217 Sgt. Harry Mills DCM. British Army 12th Battalion East Surrey Regiment While clearing my father's estate, I came across a cardboard tube containing 3 papers confirming that Sgt. H. Mills of the 12th Btn, East Surrey Regiment was awarded the DCM on the 22nd November 1918. One of the papers is the Army Orders, which states all awards given on the said date, the other piece of paper is a small 'certificate' the other is in French and states that this DCM was given by General Gaucher: "under difficult situations, with Soldier Sadler, surrounded an enemy group and captured 20 prisoners, 2 machine guns and an anti-tank gun to the N.E. of Ghelune on the 11th October 1918."
