M.I.D. London Gazette 1 January 1945.

Harry Thomas Seaman was born in Norwich, Norfolk, and enlisted in the 2/6th Battalion, Norfolk Regiment in January 1915. He served at home prior to transferring to the Royal Flying Corps in March the following year. Seaman served with the Royal Air Force on the North West Frontier, and was one of those who had previously qualified for the Waziristan 1921-24 clasp and who then took part in the 1925 operations in Waziristan. He then chose to be awarded the former clasp rather than the Waziristan 1925 clasp. Seaman was awarded the L.S. & G.C. in February 1942.
