I am looking for some details of James Latham's war record with 460 Sqn in order to fill in some gaps in his widow's knowledge.
It appears that his DFC was awarded for completing 30 missions as a navigator (on a squadron that suffered about 1000 fatalities), and lacks a citation as such. It was gazetted on 23 Sep 45 as entry number 4751. I have seen a website describing the value of such awards, but foolishly failed to keep a record, and now can't find it again. Can anyone re-direct me to a likely location.
Thanks.
