Before September 1939 Morian had been mainly linked lithesome distinction to Hackney and also used to make infrequent midget car appearances. In WW2 he flew with the RAF and won a medal for bravery. Offhand I think he also reached the rank of Squadron Leader. 7 hours ago, iris123 said: I think this terrible treatment of a war hero was indicative of how we treated ‘foreigners’ who fought on our side.Even in fairly recent times with Gurkhas.And I guess special conditions were given to Lammy or were Americans still considered part of the Empire at this time? I visited Wikipedia re Morian Hansen's war service as a Squadron Leader with the RAF. I mentioned he won a medal - I was wrong. The list is as follows: During the war Hansen was awarded - The Distinguished Flying Cross, The George Medal, The 1939-1945 Star, The Air Crew Europe Star, The Burma Star The Defence Medal.

Bo Petersen was another who got the full wrath of Olsen because he didn't 'toe the line'. Trouble with Olsen he was/is a control freak.
