Bistow Medals on Members of the Police & the SAS for the Iranian Embassy Siege
The most famous hostage rescues in history terrorists took 26 hostages inside the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980, SAS commandos stormed the building to bring it to a dramatic end.
inside the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980, and after six days of tense negotiations, SAS commandos stormed the building to bring it to a dramatic end.
The rescue was broadcast live on TV, gripping the nation and it was the first time the public had seen the highly secretive SAS in action. Now, nearly 40 years later it has come to light that chief negotiator Max Vernon, and former SAS soldier Rusty Firmin, the late John McAleese and the rest of the men have not had any recognition.
