No problem, Ian. Once again figures are for WW2

AFC - 2001 - first bars 26, second bar 1
AFM - 259 - no bars awarded

The AFM was always one of the scarcest gallantry medals, which in later years was sometimes awarded to SAR crewmen. Like the DFM it was also a very attractive medal, and I regret their passing, along with the DSM, DCM, and MM, although I understand the rationale for all ranks now receiving the same award
