Interesting information. May I ask a couple of questions of this audience?
Why wasn't an OSM issued for TELIC; instead of what became the Iraq Medal? It was after Bliar's edict that the GSM be replaced by the OSM after all. Anyone know?
Again, genuine question - on medals, why isn't there a differentiation between those who serve in combat roles vs those in support roles? I'm thinking like the SAMA82 rosette when applied to troops in FOBs for 6 months vs blokes like me living in comfort in Bastion for 2 months on 1310 Flt?
Anyone know?
