Proone,

Just a quote from the London Gazette (or do you disapprove of that organ as being elitist and/or not in keeping with modern values?) "The Queen has been graciously pleased to give orders for the following promotion in and appointments to the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in Afghanistan during the period 1st October 2001 to 31st March 2002:"

Hmmmm, so do you say that awards for gallantry should not be changed, or do you want to go through the list of awards and mark the ones that stay as is and those that should be renamed for fear of offending the wider audience?

let's have a go at some changes shall we? Remember, the rules are no offence and the post nominals should remain the same.

I'll start you off:

AFC - AIR FLYING CITATION (no Air Force soon and the reference to cross may offend non-Christians)
