Anyway, that's after the fact, I'm still busy with the Limber Gunners Association, helping to carry on with Canada's proud military history and please forward your present address for our records.
Many Thanks again

I've actually seen transcripts of decoration recommendations being downgraded twice. Although I understand the difference between 'duty' and 'valour', I've never been able to bridge the gap between unrecognized valour and the numerous DSOs awarded for 'leadership'. These days, when I see a DCM, an MM or an MC, I know damned well those were hard-earned, and that the wearer probably deserved at least one higher.
Glad to hear you're still involved. I've sent you an email with my particulars. I hope to see you soon.
