Thanks TTN. He is obviously highly regarded by Saskatchewan anyway! A fellow Flight Cadet had the honour of being the only one of our entry to sport a medal, having sung in the choir at the Coronation. It was a no brainer for DIs and the CWO, and earned him many defaulters parades as a result.
No doubt these days they are cast in stay-bright or some other labour saving material, or is there still the requirement to resort to arcane alchemy to make them shine without staining the ribbon? I only ask as my sole gong, a GSM and bar, poses a last minute panic every Remembrance Day!
