Mentioned in Despatches 1917-1919

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.
