I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

another one where the real heroes got their gallantry awards. Dont think it's about to happen though.
At least it was a step in the right direction getting rid of the gallantry medals and allowing the award of gallantry crosses to every one.

I used to get the feel that a DSO was an award similar to an OBE as opposed to a 'Cross' which was actually awarded to the doer.

Now how about awarding the odd knighthood down the line too? That would really make the headlines - SSgt created as KBE for saving life of prime minister - flt lt created Baron for saving heir to the thrown . . .
