    Thing is Mark they were all heroes not just those that won the highest gallantry awards both of our armies that fought in the WWI/WWII conflicts were purely voluntary with conscription being tried on in the first WW by the government of the day and soundly defeated.
    Even today with our combined forces in the dust bowl of the world getting to grips with another type of threat well they are all heroes as well letting us have and enjoy our relative peaceful freedom

    Agree as heffron said the ones that did not come home are the Heroes we can't know all their stories but at least we can remember the more celebrated ones. If we don't remember the celebrated ones what does that say about the others that did not make it back
