Rejected petition Award Staff Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba the Victoria Cross

More details

During the Battle of Mirbat, Staff Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba displayed a level of bravery which went far beyond the call of duty.

Is it right that those that serve us in the armed forces are not given their dues, and be known and recognised for their acts of bravery and gallantry?

The fact that he has not been awarded the Victoria Cross is quite frankly disgusting. The Prime Minister needs to do something about that.

Labalaba gave his life for Britain - we owe him!
