Cyril Sladden was three times mentioned in despatches and certificates were duly issued on 1st March 1919, signed by Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for War. The despatches were from:
Lieutenant General Sir F S Maude, KCB, CMG, DSO, dated 10th April 1917
Lieutenant General W R Marshall, KCB, KCSJ, dated 11th November 1918
Lieutenant General W R Marshall, KCB, KCSJ, dated 7th February 1919
We are grateful to David Sladden (grandson of Cyril) for bringing these certificates to the final Sladden letter-reading evening in 2017 and for allowing copies to be made.
