While working on another book, which listed the honors by name, do you think
it is possible that the C.M.G. I asked about could be Companion of Saint
Michael and Saint George?

In the listings for names, from this book it has:
200239 C.S.M. T. G. Milne I know the number is the persons military number,
his surname is Milne, and T.G. are his initials. Do you know what C.S.M. I
also have others with R.S.M. These men received the Distinguished Conduct
Medal if that makes a difference.

Thanks
Judy
