Sadley I cant see the govenment giving out compensation to their desendents. I may be being a cynic but why it took so long? There has been enough evidence for years as to what they were suffering from yet they waited in my view that they wanted no children still alive. On the same reasoning used based on modern standards Haig Foch Neville Joffre Petain etc would have been done for war crimes. Yet will they label these men as this or is it a diferent set of standards? The first British General (though might be wrong) who got a real dose of the horrors the Tommies endured was Gen Lancelot Kiegal who was reported as being in tears when confronted with the Ypres front.
