No awards of the DSM since WW2 have been made to someone named "Robert Mitchell".

Yay, let's harass an old man and force him to justify himself to some internet crusaders. Yay!

There is already a thread on this in the int cell, guess it would probably end up here either way.

Interesting to see the bullet.
Full metal jackets don't deform at all when hitting flesh then?

Yes, I have done. If we fired up the bus every time there we inconsistency and/or sensationaism in a military related story in the Daily Mail no one would ever find time to eat or sleep.

I don't for a second believe that is the bullet. It probably ended up in a medical waste bin. Not such a good story without a few photos of it those is it? I have a cunning idea says jurno....

I agree, but i have alot of respect for those who served in Malaysia or Borneo, but is there a need to go further? When people do go further its almost taking away from what others have done. Then again, that's assuming that he didnt actually take part in Vietnam and Cambodian ops. If he has done id like to hear more about it, sounds pretty interesting.

Never mind that. Look at this link I followed from the page the op put up.
Look at the girl, then look at the tattooist! It gives 'freakish' a whole new meaning.
