Me too, but what took so bloody long? The soldiers in Aden died over forty years ago. None of what is happening now is original thought of the British Government, they would have happily ignored it, as they have for so long. The credit is due to those service organisations that have raised the issue and the quite impossible to ignore fact that in the region of 170 British servicemen have been killed in recent years.
