Medals

The GSM 1962 is 'full up' with clasps and has been replaced by theOperational Service Medal. The last clasp for the GSM was for Northern ireland, and that was awarded up to 1 Apr 08, I believe.

There has been a lot of talk amongst the various threads about 'Commemorative medals' sold by charities or profit-making bodies. If you need to 'big up' for Remembrance Day, so be it -but most people will treat the wearing of 'tin trickets' with disdain.
