BV were you a QFI at Valley, if so you should rightly qualify. Tongue in cheek, most of us thought of it as overseas when we did MPC on Anglesey.

Do I think I deserve a medal? NO. I was well recompensed both financially and with the excitement these contacts generated.

but what about the dangers on Taceval of cowering behind notices saying this window is sandbagged?

I guess a CW medal would be of rather more relevance than Jubilee and Coronation ‘gongs’ but upon the hypothesis that most of us here are now ‘veterans’, do we really care after all these years….move on.

nb not comparable to the Bomber Command 1939-1945 issue in whose debt we still remain.

Concur with those sentiments and would add the LSGC medal for officers to the list of irelevant things.

I loathed those grease slugs - just WHAT were they made from? Animal, vegetable or mineral?

A quick Google for Westlers Pork Sausages In Lard will fix you up. Still available on occasions.
