Likewise
Having just returned from somewhere sounding very familiar (I'm eligible for a rosette on mine if yours was only a bar of candy) I went into PSF (sorry, HR post JPA) and was told I had to see P1 (formerly P1) to apply for it. 2 minutes and 2 A4 sheets later, I had 2 medals applied for and was told it may take up to 6 months for them to arrive.
No problems! expecting them sometime this summer, maybe by Xmas 07!
