John Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Does anyone know if there were any Mentions In Despatches given during the Paras action at Majar Al-Kabir, where the Brotish RMPs were killed? It would be the same action that Sergeant Robertson was awarded the Conspicious Gallantry Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
