Keith P has got 4 of my 5! including the 2 Omani ones 2nd and 3rd from last. (I met him briefly in Oman).

For UK regulars comme moi, there was a DCI issued authorising the wear of the campaign medals. For one off gallantry awards or similar there was an individual letter from the Palace!

The ribbon of the Dhofar Campaign Medal (KP's 3rd from the end) looks a bit like the one for the Kuwaiti Liberation Medal (which can't be worn). I've been "counselled" on my apparent error by many ranks from SWO to Brigadier; it was fun telling them they were wrong!

A bit easier when Jock Stirrup was CAS/CDS as he had one.
