Operation Bolton(RN/FAA)

I served on HMS Illustrious during this deployment in the late 90`s.I have heard that they brought out a medal for this operation?I left the ship not long afterwards and then the navy without receiving any notification of entitlement.Thank you for any help.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Search Google. You will eventually find medal entitlements.

The RAF picked up the GSM62 'Air Ops Iraq' for Op Bolton, is it the same for the FAA/RN?

I've had a quick trawl on the MOD Intrant but can't find the relevant DCI detailing the qaulifying criterea. The MOD Medals Office at Innsworth will be able to help - give them a call.

Details are here:
