Australia is relooking at some that were put fwd for VC's to re-assess their cases, one thinks the UK should do similar.


It would appear that 'Nutloose' is doing his famous jumping on the bandwagon act again.
Surely if we start looking at the substance of higher end awards the floodgates could be opened for ALL awards thereby bringing the 'quota' system into sharp focus.

Somebody is not thinking this through.
If you read my follow on post, you would see I was not refering to the ones that were refused on someones say so, simply the one that had been put on hold till a later date where all parties agreed that more information was needed and would be available, then forgotten after hostilities ended........ hence

I see where you are coming from and there are objections to it happening in Aus, but where in the case of the one defered until post war, perhaps that should be put to bed so to speak either one way or the other..
Not jumping on any bandwagon.

I once took on several Carrickfergus Commandoes
Pah. the Rhonda Valley Commandos would have them for lunch....
