Lt Col C.S. Linton commanded 4th Battalion at the Battle of Poelcappelle, Ypres, on 09 October 1917 where he was awarded a bar to his existing DSO.
He was awarded his DSO as a Captain in France in 1915 - was this at Aubers Ridge??
He became a Major in June 1916 - I think by then he already had an MC as well as his DSO.
There is an obituary recorded for him on 26 November 1917 - did he die at the Battle of Cambrai where the 4th Battalion went following Third Ypes??
Finally, does any one have a "potted biography" of Lt Col Linton?
Many thanks
Jim
