I just read a story about a Canadian Korean War hero who just died, it was in today's Toronto Sun. Ken Barwise.
He should have gotten a VC but got a MM. They say it was because he was a private, if an officer he should have had a VC for sure. Sounds like a great man, sorry to have lost him.

This seems familiar - Not sure if it's the same guy but "Beyond the Danger Close" by Capt (Ret.) Hub Gray was rather desparaging of this or a similar gentleman. If i remember correctly as a witness himself along with a number of others the Vickers was retrieved in a lull with no fighting and the individual was part of a squad who retrieved it. Again if memory serves the 'gauntlet of fire' was a separate event where the individual ran with ammunition between two positions.

I'll have to dig out the book and check - it might be worth looking into for those who've met the person in question. ISBN #1-894255-24-0

Duker- I missed seeing the pics on page two and now they don't work. Can you please repost them? You can hit edit and put the links back.

I've seen very very few Korea pics before, almost like there aren't any. Very glad to see these.
