We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to 'bring pressure to bear on The Chief of the Defence Staff and The Secretary for Defence, to re-submit a recommendation to the H. D. Committee to issue a Campaign Medal to all members of Bomber Command in WW2. More details
Submitted by Ron Scales – Deadline to sign up by: 20 November 2009 – Signatures: 1,941
After a long campaign The Bevin Boys and the Land Army were recently given an award, and now there is a growing demand from an angry public for Bomber Command to be awarded a CAMPAIGN MEDAL.
125,000 aircrew carried out 366,514 sorties ( 297,663 by night ) and during these operations 55,573 pilots and crew were killed, the largest loss of life in any of our services.
This petition is on behalf of all 125,000 members of Bomber Command who deserve a CAMPAIGN MEDAL as a mark of respect for their endeavour, outstanding bravery and sacrifice of lives that saved our country and PRESERVED OUR FREEDOM !!
THEY MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN !!
