We call on the Government to conduct an independent review of historical decisions regarding military honours, particularly those where original recommendations by senior military officials were altered or downgraded without clear justification. This includes cases like Lieutenant Colonel Blair Mayne, where a Victoria Cross citation signed off by Field Marshal Montgomery was downgraded to a DSO.

This petition seeks to ensure transparency, fairness, and recognition of valour in accordance with the original intentions of military leaders. It does not challenge current honours policies but requests a review of specific historical cases to address potential injustices.
