Military history is full of the should have's. But those of us who volunteered our lives for the cause, didn't do so just to get a medal. Most who have seen action and survived were grateful to have their lives spared and I know of no British serviceman who has complained about not receiving a medal when he thought he was due one, it's not British. Our colleagues across the water get medals just for eating compo (probably deservedly) We wouldn't want it that way. I'll take my hat off to any man that fought for his country and if most of the British public thought that way; that's got to be worth two VC's
Que Fas et Gloria Du****
