KILBURNFLYER

One of the casualties of yesterday's news blitz by the government was the incredible stories of heroism contained in the latest operational honours list. A posthumous VC, a posthumous GC, the first female to win an MC etc etc. These great stories of heroism and the humility of the recipients deserved much more coverage than they got. A great shame for the recipents and the families of the bereaved that these rare pieces of good news from Iraq and Afghanistan got buried in an avalanche of bad.
