The Champaign of our Cause
 |
Tom Radford
From the beginning of this campaign for a medal, Tom Radford has been right in the forefront of the battle. He has corresponded and attended a number of interviews with MP's who were sympathetic to our cause. Working with Lt Colonel "Pip" Newton Tom was responsible for the 20,000 signature petition, that was submitted to Parliament and even though it was turned down has kept pushing and is now working through His Royal British Legion Branch in Birkenhead to get the the medal issue brought up before the Royal British Legion National Committee, and thereby make it a National issue and get the full backing of the National Committee when it is next presented to parliament.
Tom
is the type who never gives up, and deserves all our help... All the trips
to Parliament were done at his own expense and the last one in particular
took a lot of time to complete because of flooding and railway problems
in Britain. These photographs .show the pile of signed petition
forms sent in by readers of the Echo newspaper from Liverpool, being checked
by Tom, the other photo shows Tom during his service in the Suez Canal
Zone as a member of the Cheshire Regiment, where he served for two
years, Tom has shared with this Web-site all the information
relating to the Medal issue that he has come across in his research
and has built quite a file on the subject, and hopefully this information
and additional information being dug up each day will give us an airtight
case that the MOD and the Government will at last have to move on
and give us the medal we deserve. We are very lucky to have
this man on our side. I have asked and was given permission to publish
his home address and phone number.
