Not sure,but I think this info will be found by contacting the London Gazette. I`m sure all acts of official bravery are recorded here. I know because my Dad during the last world war received a small award and was mentioned in this paper. Try also Wikipedia.

This website is a good source of information as it has the citations as well.
If you have the name, you will be able to find the Regiment. The Regimental history will have the full details of the citation.
