Recommendations for Awards or Decorations 1946

1 Jan 1946

A file of Foreign Office correspondence discussing recommendations for awards and decorations for intelligence service personnel. The letters include a long dispute over whether ‘C’, the head of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), would be allowed to receive an American award, and the diplomatic problems caused by refusing it, and recommendations for awards to non-British agents, including the need to avoid antagonising the Francoist Spanish regime when awarding decorations to former Spanish Republican supporters.
