Hannes was heard to proclaim...
"Don´t forget 20+ would bring him a Pour le Mérite on the German side as well! Al Lowe would give his last shirt to achieve a similar number for Bishop!"

WHy would I? As far as I know, Bishop has 72 officially confirmed victories, the Victoria Cross, the DSO with bar, the MC, the DFC, the Croix de Guerre, the Legion of Honour Chevalier, and several other awards I've forgotten.

I don't have to give up anything for Bishop, he's already got his gongs, whether you or anyone else thinks he deserved them or not. THey were awarded, he received them and NO ONE, can take them away from him now.

VBR,

Al Lowe
