Tigs,
Reply from Sir George Young MP was that he understands the sense of injustice and would write more to me soon. When the letter arrives, I shall let you know the content.
E-mail reply from James Arbuthnot MP was as follows:
"How extraordinary. One would have thought that winning the VC fighting for the British would establish fairly strong ties with the UK. I shall pursue it – thank you for bringing it to my attention."
I'll keep you updated with any further replies received.
Good luck.
Brian
