bigjarofwasps Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Can anyone identify the first medal the Gurkha on the right is wearing? Don't recognise it the ribbon. ' alt='' class='ipsImage' >' alt='' class='ipsImage' > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjarofwasps Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 That's interesting why was this medal authorised for wear, when so many others have been refused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Farrell Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Probably because it was the only medal for the operation (i.e. not already covered by another issue) and was officially-sanctioned by the ADF - who's authority 2RGR (and support elements) came under. The Gurkhas were the only UK recipients of this medal as far as I can recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjarofwasps Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Was this medal named? I wonder whether any attached arms qualified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My medal group shown below, with the Aussie INTERFET medal at the end. Issued unnamed. Unlike UK medals it even came with a miniature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
