All the other titles, including the VC and Bar were self-awarded. He won the MC in Burma, serving with the Kings Own African Rifles, as a Sergeant. I see no one picked up the second question though. It was Q'adaffi of Libya who was in the end, instrumental in the toppling of Amin's regime. He sent several Tu-22 Blinder bombers to bomb Amin's strongholds and that did the trick, apparently. I'm glad to someone picked up on the culinary hints. Long-pig anyone? <hr></blockquote> As a sergeant, he was not eligible for the MC, it would have been the MM. MC did go out to Warrant Officers, but even that was rare - usually went to officers. Did not know he was in WW II. That too is interesting, thanks!

Ogadai Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 You're right, must have been an MM. Slim actually thought the Africans were pretty fair troops in Burma. Apparently the Japanese found it very hard to face them, they apparently scared them a great deal with their black skin which they likened to that of demons/devils. This was, of course, played up a great deal by the British Pysops troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
