    New Canadian Medal


    Recommended Posts

    While a 'General Service with the UN' medal with a bunch of bars might be more tidy - consider that most of the time people display only ribbons, and so even if a number were pinned on it would give very little indication of the individual's service to a casual observer, whereas a selection of UN ribbons does show where the individual has been.

    And yes, apart from the UN Korea Medal all UN medals are identical, it is just the ribbon that changes with mission.

    Don't forget the U.N.E.F. Medal Megan :P

    I can see a few problems. The Memorial Cross was designed to be worn by the wife/mother of the deceased. The new medal will be worn by the wounded, but can it be worn for a fatality in the same way?

    How many get awarded? Do the wife and mother each get one? What if you are awarded one for a wound, and subsequently die from the wound (maybe years later)? Do three medals get issued?
