Risbutler - I couldnt agree more that the present arrangement needs looking at, but I don't agree that putting the emblem on the most recent campaign medal would be appropriate - the holder of the QCVSA may never have taken part in that campaign. Personally I'd like to see a completely new medal. I don't know if the rather nice silver badge is still awarded to civilian recipients , maybe the military could have a medal which incorporated the design from the civil badge.
There's a good paper on these emblems here
https://www.sandhurstfoundation.org/...le_emblems.pdf
and it contains an illustration of the civil badge, among others.
Philrigger, you are correct that the proper name for the medal referred to is the 1939-45 War Medal, but it was often referred to as the Victory Medal, probably a throwback to the Victory Medal issued at the end of the Great War.
