What a shame they didn't get the honour they rightly deserves. I didn't know...
(It kind of reminds me of the treatment the norwegian sailors got. They sailed the convoys for six years not seeing theire loved ones, got torpedoed and molested, allmost no wages - and no pensions after the war. Not even a simple thank you for bringing oil, fuel, guns and soldiers to the battlefields. The norwegian government cheated and treated them real badly).
