My Father was killed in Burma and my uncle was killed in Libya and all they got as recognition was a mention in The War Graves Commission Roll of Honour.
I feel the way this thread is going it will upset a lot of dedicated and sincere people - British Legion for one.

I didn't even say past war veterans didnt deserve recognition, I said there was no necessary need to reward them with materialistic things.
People don't join the army for a medal, they join it to fight and gain honour. Simple as that. I think many would say they'd be happy without a medal if they did the country a good deed.
