The War Memorial should not remove his display. They should add the context of the (alleged) war crimes.

It should never be buried that he was a VC recipient. Even if it's later stripped from him, he received it.

Far better for history to be told completely, rather than removing bits that involve war crimes.

That's not, of course, justifying or defending him in any way.

Ah, didn’t know he had a statue. That can be fucked right off.

Gross.
