While Crab is getting a severe bashing I must admit to slightly agreeing with him. It is no coincidence that the majority were awarded to RAF crew (whether on exchange or not). I know of at least one that was strongly opposed to by RN personnel out there at the time to the point it was suggested disciplinary action may be more appropriate. While I do not agree any such action should have been brought, there was some merit to what was said.
The problem with inter service rivalry out there was at times embarrassing but I can't say it lead to undeserved DFCs. What I can say is if some RN and Army events had occurred to RAF crews they would have received DFCs and likewise the RN wouldn't have awarded many of the RAF DFCs. I do think that the RN is extremely reluctant to award medals rightly or wrongly.
All that said all the crews were there to do a job and a good job they did. Well done to all recipients of not just the DFCs but other awards such as MiD. BZ
