and also pointed out that Bishop wore a campaign medal to which he was not entitled.

What was Greenhous' proof? *Only the tunic that is now on display at the Canadian War Museum. *
How is THAT proof? *Did they take the tunic off Bishop before he was cremated and buried? *Are there any pictures of Bishop in this tunic WITH that medal? *If there are, why aren't they in Greenhous' book?
As for Bishop's telling of his missions in reports versus letters, versus a ghost written book, well, I guess no one has ever tried to impress a girl before. *I guess none of us has ever stretched the truth a little when recounting some event we were involved in?
I have to give Greenhous credit for one thing though. *He may have pointed out someone else's faulty memory when he showed us the records indicating that Bishop's Lewis gun was NOT missing after the 2 June, 1917 flight.
So far as I know, only TWO people EVER mention the missing Lewis gun in print, PRIOR to the so-called controversy. *One was Billy's son, Arthur. *The other, W. Fry, MC.
Has to make you wonder, don't it.
