Can somebody inform me as to these officers' Christian names ?

Brand was awarded a DSO (31 May 1918) and MC and became an Air Vice Marshal.

Mosby and Snow were each awarded the DSO (26 July 1918 and 22 April 1918 respectively).

Surely the Quintin Brand of night fighting and London to Capetown fame--and Park's loyal friend as CO of 10 Group in 1940. Can't believe you missed this one, Hugh--I call it a brain fart when I do this sort of thing.
