Leonard Cheshire WAS among the top 100 Britons.

Don't think Gareth was though.

A Civilian
His mistakes were legion, was renowned for giving stand and die order's and often complained that sometimes "we did not suffered enough casualties" during battles.
His mistakes were legion! Where did you dig that up from? Certainly Hitler gave those orders that every man must die and NOT retreat vis a vie Stalingrad, Bastogne, Normandy, Caen and many other theatres of war - but where and when did Churchill do the same?

Now don't start stretching the imagination. Remember your Dunkirk figures, which were hugely wrong.
