Much as I dislike the Honours system and all it stands for (but thats another well worn thread), I can't think of anyone more deserving of recognition than this fine officer. Anyone who had to cope with the aftermath of a terrible tragedy so soon after taking command of his Sqn(was it just 2 weeks?) commands my utmost respect.
As with any media report, there is probably more to this than meets the eye - as Tappers Dad is specifically mentioned, perhaps he is best placed to comment on this.
