£350-450 C.B.E. London Gazette 14 June 1945. ‘Colonel George Frederick Charles (15721), late Army Dental Corps.’
Recommendation states: ‘Colonel Charles has administered the Army Dental Services in Scottish Command for over three years. To his organising ability and wide experience, coupled with energy and enthusiasm, are due the excellent dental arrangements in the Command. During the mobilisation and special training of the large forces for overseas many dental problems arose and were successfully overcome under his supervision. In short, the high standard of dental fitness of all troops in and leaving the Command is undoubtedly due to his zeal and efficiency - attributes which have inspired all his officers and men in their work in the common cause.’
