Rejected petition Give war medals to the families of the soldiers that were shot at dawn in WW1

Many of the soldiers that were shot at dawn in WW1 did not qualify for war medals or had them taken off them. Given that 306 were pardoned in 2006 we feel it is only right that their medals get reinstated

More details

We feel an injustice was done by refusing or revoking medals for these soldiers. They were victims of the war too.
