At the #remembranceday2022 event at the Cenotaph tomorrow, you will see a small band of veterans wearing these black and yellow badges.

It is the #MissingMedal.
It is the medal that should have been given to those who delivered the nuclear deterrent in 1952.

Instead, Churchill gave honours to the chief scientist and top brass.
It should have been awarded after Operation Grapple X, 65 years ago this month, in 1957 when they produced Britain’s first H-bomb.

But it was done in a hurry, safety concerns out the window, before a global testing ban came in. A little too embarrassing.
