Captain Robert Haylett MC & Bar

British Army 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry

I have, for a number of years, tried to trace how my grandfather, Robert Haylett, 37931, 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry, won his Military Cross.

I have an old portrait of him in the uniform of the Home Guard during WW2, it is a photo that has been “touched up” i.e. coloured. On it he shown wearing his WW1 medal ribbons and what appears to be two white and purple ribbons. I remember seeing the medals many years ago and there was a small silver rosette on the MC, signifying a second award. I also know he was commissioned in the field from Company Sergeant-Major to Lieutenant and then to Captain.

If you have any information or know where I can obtain it please contact me.
