CREDIT were credit is due, the MoD have finally been brow beaten into giving a symbol of the nation’s gratitude to the brave fallen families in the form of the Elizabeth II Cross. Decades late they will properly honour the dead.
Would it be too much to ask if the MoD could also spare a thought for the living, because there but by the grace of luck or God go we? Now is the time to ensure no veteran of any era is cast to the sidelines without any official medal to proudly wear on parade. Now is the time to follow the lead of our Commonwealth cousins and issue a Defence Medal to all.
