That looks official, what's the source?

 

I wrote the Medals Office to enquire but apart from an acknowledgement that wibbled about the Coronation Medal at length they haven't replied yet.

Came from a Worcestershire Medals, Facebook page, thread was posted earlier this morning.

If anyone’s on Facebook, there is a new page dedicated to the campaign.
 

All support would be greatly appreciated. 

Order of Wear, the Nuclear Test Medal shall sit after the Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service (or any other Efficiency and Long Service Decoration or Medal held) and before the Ebola Medal for Service in West Africa.

The Medal is awarded to UK Service and civilian personnel, and individuals from other nations, who served at the locations where the UK atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted, including the preparatory and clear-up phases, between 1952 and 1967 inclusive.

The Medal is also awarded to UK personnel who served at locations where American atmospheric nuclear tests took place in 1962 under Operation DOMINIC.

Qualifying service for the medal is defined as service of any length.

Eligible personnel are defined as follows:

(1) UK Service and civilian personnel, and individuals from other nations, who served at the locations where the UK atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted, including the preparatory and clear-up phases, between 1952 and 1967.

(2) UK Service and civilian personnel who served at the locations where American atmospheric nuclear tests took place in 1962 under Operation DOMINIC.

(3) Foreign nationals who served at the locations where the UK atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted, including the preparatory and clear-up phases, between 1952 and 1967.

(4) The medal can be awarded posthumously to the legal next of kin of eligible individuals who have since died.

Thought this might be of interest?

Certainly a worthy cause!!

Order of wear, for the rosettes on your tunic ribbons. 

Not the best images granted.

But a couple of C111R version miniatures are currently listed on a popular auction site.

Thank you. Now to sit back and await images of these medals to go on my website

 

 

There’s photos of miniature versions been posted on Worcestershire today, if that’s of any use? 

Appears that there is an official date for the military, whereby there will be a change of effigy from E11R to C111R. Although why the 1st October and not the 8th September, is curious…

Hi,

 

in the www I found several Long Service Medals.

 

Which one was given to Royal Navy Officers between WW2 an the 1970s?

 

Thanks

Does this help? 

George VI & Elizabeth II 

Where the only two reigning monarchs  between the 1945 and 1970 period. 

The more I learn about this medal, the less I understand…

When first announced it was for a situation that hadn’t yet happened (not sure if this still is the case), and it wasn’t going to be back dated (so Covid for example was out). 
 

Now the ribbon has been explained how do they know for instance that the NHS and or blue light services are going to be involved in this incident that hasn’t happened yet? Even the military involvement is potentially questionable?

If for example it’s awarded for the recent fires in Greece, that only a handful of fire fighters deployed to…..

• Awards with His Majesty The King’s image in use from the beginning of October.
• The new designs are presented on almost 50 different awards.
• Images bear the inscription Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

The images - known as effigies - will be used for almost 50 awards, including The King’s Gallantry Medal, the Royal Red Cross and a range of long service awards.

The new images will replace previous designs which featured an image of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The new designs feature six different depictions of The King along with the inscription CHARLES III DEI GRATIA REX FID DEF - meaning Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

Three of the images show The King wearing the uniforms of the Admiral of the Fleet (Royal Navy), Field Marshal (Army) and Marshal of the Royal Air Force (RAF). On these medals, The King faces left in order for His medal bar to be seen.

New Royal effigies are announced when a Monarch ascends to the throne and are used on official medals and awards forming part of the UK’s honours system.

Her Late Majesty’s effigy has continued to be in use for medals and awards which recognised service given during Her reign.

Latest situation with regards to Police LSGC’s as of Wednesday 27th September 2023.

“We are regularly contacting the Home Office for updates (phoning at least every 2 weeks) in relation to when the Royal Mint will be taking the orders for the long service medals with the King effigy following the passing of the Queen. The latest update from them this week is that the signing off the effigy by the King is close but has not been finalised. Once signed off the Home Office will then be submitting orders to the Royal Mint as all Police Forces will have been impacted by the delay it is difficult at this time to give an approximate time as to when we will in force receive the medals to pass on to qualifying serving and retired officers.

I appreciate that this will be frustrating for the officers as 12 months has passed but unfortunately, we can only be guided by the information supplied by the Home Office to ourselves and other police forces. There is also a delay in the force receiving the coronation medals.

As soon as any further information is received, we will share this with your office.”
