Try an internet search for The Gazette 22 Mar 1945

There are several pdf results, one of which may list S M Hall. It probably won't give any additional details than Mentioned in Dispatches.

Please can you post the record you've found?

I'm not seeing it so far.
There are some records for S Hall of Royal Artillery - no DOB to confirm if it's him or not - but I assume from your post that you've seen it under either SM or his full name.
