Well now Ian, that depends if she was serving in the armed forces in Cyprus during the dates stated, or not. Obviously she wasn't your wife at that stage if she was serving, as those were the days when women had to leave the service before they got married (as Mrs TTN will testify!) But as far as I know, the qualifications for the award of campaign medals apply equally to men and women.
One interesting case is the award of the Naval General Service medal, bar "Trafalgar" which was awarded to a Jane Townsend, who was on board HMS Defiance during the battle. Presumably she was overlooked when the order "show a leg" went out before the ship sailed! Another is the award of the same medal with the bar "1st June 1794", which was awarded to Daniel Tremendous Mackenzie, who was born onboard HMS Tremendous at the height of the battle. The medal was not awarded until 1848, when he was 54, but it was backdated to the day of his birth! Again, what his mother was doing onboard is unclear!
