Patrick You've got your original posters confused. Derrick Parsons was the original poster in the thread "[GREATWAR] Military Cross winners WW1". TTM responded helpfully and courteously to that post. The post by TTM that you took objection to was addressed to a post (number 4 in the thread) by JL Flemington. Now for pity's sake EVERYBODY can we give it a rest???
