1 Bronze Star is listed in Battleaxe Weekly, 1945, but the recipient's name is not given.
The list shown in Battleaxe Weekly, 1945, states that the unit won 10 MMs and 15 Mentioned in despatches, but I have not been able to trace more than those listed above.
Some of the MCs may well have been awarded to our officers when they were Regimental Medical Officers before they joined the unit. Their names are included because all three officers served in the 11th.
