Captain Donovan RCE and the AVRE

[Steve Guthrie]

Hi there

Checking some facts for a friend.

Does anyone know where I can find information about the above mentioned officer, who is credited with inventing the Armoured Vehicle, Royal Engineers based on his experience at Dieppe?

The important question is whether or not Captain Donovan applied for one of those post-war British awards given to inventors of successful military hardware. Strassler got one for developing the DD Sherman.

Any thoughts?
