It's getting a mention on ARRSe
Bloody brave fellow. Those kiwis are bonkers. The last one got a bar to his VC in WW2. I believe he eschewed the more traditional No. 8 Lee Enfield .303 rifle for a sack of grenades. He had obviously been reading
The Chap:
The Military Chap will find the actual business of warfare a trifle dull. For one thing, it is well known that most foreigners are abject cowards. The Military Chap may well find that five dozen Johnny Foreigners surrender to him when he strolls into their trench armed with nothing more than a well-waxed moustache, a rolled up copy of the Illustrated London News and the latest cricket scores. For this action he will receive a good MC and the nickname "The Mad Major".
But to keep the thread relevant to flying matters, there must be some bravery-related flying gongs in the pipeline somewhere. Anyone shed some light on this?
