Mentions in Despatches
There were numerous opportunities during the war for honours and recognition. Members of the Motor Launch Patrol were "gazetted" on many occasions—for actions during battle and even in home ports. Transcribed here are some of these entries—ranging from minor, one-off events to announcements of service awards, particularly after the "stunts" at Zeebrugge and Ostend in 1918.
