warpedskydiver 0 #1 August 8, 2009 After all these years why is it that one of the bravest soldiers Great Britain has ever known has not been awarded the Victoria Cross? http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Desert_song/Mirbat.htm SAS Sgt. Talaiasi Labalaba He had certainly earned it the day he died and that was not the first time he earned it. The man was the real deal, most people on earth including professional soldiers do not know his name. That is really sad.

Skyrad 0 #2 August 11, 2009 I agree, I've always thought the same. Thta happened in the days when the Regiment was still annoymous and Mirbat didn't make headlines. However today I'd like to see Sgt Labalaba honouredWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

warpedskydiver 0 #3 August 11, 2009 Thanks for the reply, I was beginning to think nobody gives a shit about what he had done for his country. I guess these days heroes are celebrities and athletes not someone who did what had to do when there was no choice left. You would think at least a few British subjects would be in favor of this request. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
