Question 4 Part 1
I think Billy Bishop should have the title War Hero because he fought for our freedom by going to war so we could have peace and freedom.Also he risked his life for his country and came back from 4 wars and he wanted to join one more but was kindly rejected. Plus Bishop was one of the best at what he did. Billy did great things during his time and he was rewarded with 16 awards/medals for that. Therefore thats why I think Billy Bishop deserves the title War Hero -
