Jock Auld Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks for the info, I presume these workers were only on the home front yet still entitled to the medals. Every day is a school day! Cheers jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 An interesting group. Medals were only awarded if you served overseas from your own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
