Undoubtedly Trooper Tobin deserved the DCM or indeed a higher award, however, I cannot find any award for him listed in the LG.
As far as I am aware, this is an ongoing battle 50 years after Mirbat! Time to start the campaign again?

I wish someone would gather together all those who take the same view and get a campaign started. Helen-Marie Tobin( Thomas’ sister)

It does seem strange that Four others who took part in the battle for Mirbat are listed in the London Gazette but not Trooper Tobin
