A Most Worthy & Deserving Soldier.

Extraordinary courage of First World War lieutenant who could become Britain's first black army officer to win a posthumous Military Cross.

• Second Lieutenant Walter Tull was recommended for a Military Cross according to letters sent this his family
• The soldier was never given the award fuelling speculation he had been overlooked
• New play hopes to highlight campaign to award Tull a posthumous Military Cross. Mail.

Hmm. A VERY good idea. But all this could not be being done just because he was black - surely?

This will be attempted for all soldiers in a similar situation, I assume?

In the meantime, perhaps they might care to investigate why, rather more recently, my Dad was (to the best of my knowledge) the only police officer in the UK ever to disarm a gunman, after a shot had been fired, NOT to receive the Queen's Gallantry Medal.
