Mike Smith Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Since April 2011 more than 24,800 New Zealand Defence Service Medals (NZDSM) have been issued. That was the figure at mid March 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 A nice looking medal - and good bars. I'm not sure I wouldn't prefer to see a silver finish - rather then Bronze - but that's a personal view. I believe that Australia has had a National Service medal for some years - I would be eligible for that and possibly a gen. service - although I probably didn't serve long enough with the Queensland Regt.. (as a Territorial) Anyway, thankyou for showing and discussing the new medal. Without the Forum a lot of our members wouldn't know about these issues.

Mike Smith Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It is rather better looking when you have one in your hand. I already have mine with the REGULAR bar on. I like the bronze look for a change as all the other awards in NZ are that tacky anodized silver plated. Each of these NZDSMs is engraved with the recipients details which is a very good idea. Australia have the equiv which is the Australian Defence Medal (ADM) for, I think, three years of service in the military. There are no bars to that one though, unlike us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
