Please advise the source/access of the London Gazette 40418.

Someone put me up for an AFC after 2 years (56/57) at Boscombe Down which was duly presented Down Under in 1958.

Have never seen a citation. Would like to bring one forth out of the archives. Being an RAF gong to a RAAF TP I wear it with pride.

My CO at BD was Wg Cdr Clive Saxelby who also was awarded an AFC. Sax was shot down in WW2 and became one of the tunnellers for the Great Escape. He was to be next out of the hole when the shooting started so he went back inside and survived.
