TTN - thanks for a sensible answer. Now I know!
Unfortunately for me, paid service will finished in Jan 12, so I guess I'll miss out. Or I'll buy one from some hard-up squaddie on or about the 13th Feb next year.
A former colleague of mine was a mad keen medallist and when some of the Falklands War ships visited Auckland in early 1983, he waited at the gang plank of one of the RFAs asking if anyone would sell their medal. 30 minutes later and about $30 lighter he had his medal, but I suspect that he also was asked what other services he did for money.....l
