The Great War D.S.O., O.B.E. group of eight awarded to Captain G.

The Great War D.S.O., O.B.E. group of eight awarded to Captain G. L. Parnell, Royal Navy, who won the former distinction for his gallant command of the torpedo boat destroyer H.M.S. Nith in anti-submarine patrols in 1917, and the latter for his services as Resident Naval Officer at Baku during the Caspian Sea operations of 1919: but his additional “mention” perhaps reflected greater deeds, namely an all-afternoon surface-to-surface shooting match with U-Boat ace Lothar von Arnauld Distinguished Service Order, G.V.R., silver-gilt and enamel, with integral top riband bar; The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, O.B.E., (Military) Officer’s 1st type, breast badge, silver-gilt, hallmarks for London 1919; 1914-15 Star (Commr.
