  1. Thank you Edwin. I quite like the rather British mordant humour in this part of the BD chap's citation: “The fact that Lieutenant Archer has enjoyed such remarkable immunity from death in no way detracts from his record of deliberate and sustained courage coupled to devotion to duty of the highest order.”
