B.E.M. London Gazette1.1.1945 7536216 S/Sgt. Guiness George Lashmar, Army Dental Corps
The Recommendation, dated 18.8.1944, states: ‘This N.C.O. has been employed as chief clerk to ADDS at Headquarters of a District since 9 August 1940. For the last two years of this period he has been serving as chief clerk to the officer making this recommendation. During the whole period he has shown great devotion to duty, often under very difficult circumstances, particularly during the period when great pressure of work devolved on this department owing to large commitments for priority dental work for the Second Army. It is felt that his services have been of outstanding merit, and that he has willingly and cheerfully carried through a very desirious task in a manner that is worthy of the highest commendation.’

7536216 Staff Sergeant Guiness George Lashmar, B.E.M. (1905-1945), born Lower Holloway, London; served with the Army Dental Corps in Palestine, and during the Second World War with the A.D.C., Norfolk and Cambridge District.
