Page "Guy Gibson" Paragraph 34

Gibson spent his post-raid leave in Penarth, playing golf most days.

While on leave he had a call from the Air Ministry telling him that he had been awarded the VC.

His father-in-law Ernest Moore immediately telephoned the steward at the Glamorganshire and asked to him lay on as many drinks as he could find and the whole family went down to celebrate in style at the clubhouse.
