AB. Richard O'Neill DSM & Bar.
Royal Navy HMS Whitshed

Richard O'Neill was awarded the DSM in 1940 whilst serving on HMS Whitshed. It was reported in the London Gazette dated 27th of August 1940 therefore the act of bravery occurred approx two to three months prior to the reporting. Still trying to find out more.
He was awarded a 2nd DSM (Bar) whilst serving on HMS Cairo in 1942, again reported in the London Gazette dated 22nd of September 1942.
