More Medal News,

 

Article from the December issue of Soldier Magazine.

Article in this month’s Soldier Magazine.

Would appear the military are experiencing the same delays. Although the excuse makes no mention of the change of effigy, but blames staffing levels.

cant help unfortunately, but didnt West Mids do something like this too at some point?

Any idea what the bars below the badge are for? 
 

Apparently the award date for the C111R LSGC version, is the 1st October 2022 as apposed to the 8th September 2022? Has anyone got any knowledge as to why this should be? 
 

It might also be of interest for those who qualified, that the King’s Coronation Medal roll out to all forces will begin next month (January 2024) and is expected to be concluded by September 2024.

A friend of mine in A&S had his LSGC medal ceremony a couple of months ago. Had his certificate but he qualifies for the kings head version and he’s been told he will receive it next month. 

Little update, the Metropolitan Police have also published on their internal force website (I have heard this from several separate sources now), that the Royal Mint has now begun excepting orders again for LSGC’s and that they expect to begin awarding them again to Officers in the near future.

Hello All= I am seeking any information on and particularly images of the Lincolnshire Police Chief Constable's Ceommendation and Star award.This is awarded for Bravery or Outstanding Operational Achievements, and takes the form of a parchment Certificate of Commedation and a four-pointed embroidered badge worn on the lower left tunic sleeve.

 

All I can find is a very low quality image on the internet but it is too low a resolution to be meaningful.

 

Any info most welcome!

Another example this one to West Midlands Police. I assume this badge would also be worn on the sleeve? Of particular interest might be the retrospective date of this award!!! 

Avon & Somerset have started to issue them, to their Officers.

Recent publication produced by the A&S Crime Commissioner, that has been sent out to all Chief Constables. 

Thought it might be of interest?

(Includes criteria for the correct wearing of medals, as well as how to recommend Officers for gallantry awards.)

Interesting, thanks Dutch.

Keep us posted 👍.

Another month has passed and the wait goes on……

For anyone who might be interested, copy 30 and 40 year bars are now available via a vender on EBay. 

Can’t comment on the quality or where they have sourced them from…….

C111R Nuclear Test Medal & E11R (second version) Police LSGC awarded to - 

Detective Inspector Mick McAdlindon Northamptonshire force 1966 to 1996.

Another Police related Nuclear Test Medal.

Check this group out!!! 
 

First of it’s kind, I’ve seen. 

E11R Police LSGC (second version)
E11R Cadet LSGC
C111R Nuclear Test Medal

All awarded to Roger Grace. 

Bedfordshire Constabulary 1957 - 1986.

Would be interested to learn of any other groups that include the Police LSGC, that exist! 

First group I’ve been able to identify which includes the Police LSGC. Will be interesting to see if there’s others or whether it’s unique? 

Interesting to see examples of it with clasps? 

Some interesting groups here.

No official U.K. Covid medal was ever awarded.
 

But there are a few examples of nice unofficial awards. This one in particular issued Hertfordshire Constabulary is striking.
