no worrys Stu, Didnt mean to offend you,no expert myself just a student, but can see what the documents say & have read a few military records over the years.
To put a light hearted note on it, To be broken down to private from CSM {possibly with with over 30 year service} hed probably have to have taken advantage of the Generals wife over the bronze victory cannon canon in middle of the the parade ground on sunny Christmas morning in front of the assembled ranks , shouting "I do this for England, the King , God & St George" or some such, while waving the Regimental banner in the air, Before wounding half a dozen Regimental police in a life threatening way!
To be broken that far down youd be in jail for a few years first.
The records of British dead are more much more reliable the medal records by a long way. {Of course ther will be a very occasional accidental non recorded I am sure.]
