    The awards might date back to Arras 1940 when the bulk of 4 and 7 RTR broke the German attack. Unfortunately the infantry support was late and gave the Germans a chance to rally.

    4 & 7 were virtually wiped out in the process.

    There's another instance of downgrading a recommendation. DSO to MC

    Really makes me wonder quite what the criteria were.
