Mick Markham said: This is the official photo of Doug with Jacques Chirac aboard the Charles De Gaulle. They are laughing because the medal President Chirac is giving him has an African name to it - which obviously did not fit the person receiving it. Chirac laughingly apologised, and Doug said 'Not to worry sir!' I believe only Doug and one American were present to receive medals on the day – the rest were colonial Africans.
