THEY DESERVED EVERY MEDAL...
I used to know a man Mr. J J Bridge, who had served in Britain;s Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) during WWII. He received the George Cross and a bar to the George Medal (ie two George Medals) for his work in bomb disposal. Indeed he would have received more decorations for his bravery, but his commanding officer would not recommend him further. As his C/O put it, 'You've had your quota!' He can be found in the Guinness Book Of Records in the section entitled Medals & Decorations as being the joint-highest decorated civilian in British history. And if the men portrayed in this movie were anything like him then they deserved every bit of praise they got.
