M.S.M. London Gazette 18 October 1916. ‘... in recognition of valuable services rendered during the present war’.

The London Gazette of 18 October 1916 contained the first M.S.M. listing. Colville was originally listed as a recipient of the Military Medal (London Gazette 14 September 1916); this error was corrected in the later gazette. Sold with a copy of the war movements of the 5th F.A.
