    Thanx Guys!

    That´s a great trick question answer! Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Or just keep chanting the name to a rhythm at work... And the friends will keep at a further distance than before... :D

    This is obviously a trick question & I'm hopeless with awards so let's put my foot in it first....

    I thought the DSC was an American medal, issued to personnel serving in the US Army for 'distinguished acts of extraordinary heroism'? If so, can't see any of that fitting Monty.... :confused:
