A disgraceful delay
Why did it take so long to award campaign decorations to survivors of the Arctic convoys and Bomber Command?
My point is they had already been awarded campaign decorations in the form of the Atlantic Star and Aircrew Europe Star respectively, a fact which some reporters seem unaware of - I have even seen the statement 'Bomber Command were uniquely denied a medal', which is total nonsense. I repeat my question made above: now these guys have had their extra medals, who next?
