A very big congratulations to Trooper Donaldson and all his mates who are doing outstanding work in the field.

Teresa green YGTBFSM. The whole concept behind the VC was a medal that did not discriminate for reasons of class or rank. Did some soldiers not get the award who should have, certainly. (Pte Dick Norden in Vietnam for example) Did those who have been awarded them deserve them, most definitely.
