Hiya, According to The Medal Yearbook the medal was also extended in 1956 to police officers serving in Australia, Papua New Guinea and Nauru. Australia replaced this medal in 1976 with the (Australian) National Medal. As English Police LSGC Medals are named, it is most likely this was also done with the Australian issues. Kind regards, Marcon1.

Odd St George Cross anyone got the foggiest idea?
Marcon1 replied to paul wood's topic in Russia: Imperial
Hiya, although this is not my area of knowledge I do know that this medal was issued before 1917 (tsarist era) and again since 1992 (Russian Federation). Could this be a modern (1992) issue ??? -

Operational Service Medal
Marcon1 replied to bigjarofwasps's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
Doubtful, they would have skimmed the medal and named it again and this time the right way. Don't forget, the medal is made of silver. -

WW1 Operational Theatres of War 1914-1920 Military operations of the First World War took place in seven theatres of war around the world. Alphanumeric codes were assigned to each theatre and operational area within it. These codes were used by the British military for the compilation of records of service and medals. The alphanumeric codes were slightly amended after 1st January 1916.(1) Western Europe To 31st December 1915 and from 1st January 1916 The Western Front b Italy Balkans To 31st December 1915 and from 1st January 1916 Russia From 1st January 1916 Egypt To 31st December 1915 From 1st January 1916 Africa To 31st December 1915 From 1st January 1916 Asia To 31st December 1915 From 1st January 1916 Australasia To 31st December 1915 From 1st January 1916 -

Jersey Honorary Police LSGC First instituted by Royal Warrant on 1 December 2014, it is awarded for 12 years service and a bar is awarded for each subsequent period of 9 years service. To qualify for the medal a member must have been: In service on or after 1 January 2012; and Have completed the required years of service (12 years for the medal; additional periods of 9 years for a bar to the medal) which may be continuous service or an aggregate and in more than one Parish or more than one office; and His or Her character and conduct must have been very good. There is a picture of a full sized one on parish.gov.je but the picture is very tiny.

Hi Aniki, A Royal Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal (QE II type) exist since 1953-54. So, if HMS Drake was still active in those years and the recipient was still aboard then such medal could be issued to him.

Hi Mike, You might already have this info, but you never know. Canada: Boer War: Toronto Tribute Medal / Brave Boys Welcome Home Form:Circular. The silver medal has an ornate suspension bar and ribbon (for details see under 'Note'). By:P.W. Ellis & Co. of Toronto Date:1900 Ref: Hern: 872; Hibbard: H1; Laidlaw: 0059a; Variations: Size Metal Mass Value 34.4mm Silver (1900) 30.4 gm w/ suspension $800 (named); $500 (unnamed) 34 mm Silver (1902) $900 (named); $600 (unnamed) 34 mm Bronze 19.8 gm $100 34.4 mm White Metal 13.6 gm $70 Edge:Plain. Silver medal sometimes engraved with the recipient’s name. This silver medal: "C. TOMLINSON 7395 R.C.R." Obverse:Beneath a grape vine, a woman and dog rush to welcome a uniformed Canadian soldier shouldering a rifle. Written vertically on the slats of a fence behind: “PW ELLIS & Co / TORONTO”. Reverse:A sheathed sword dividing the field vertically. At the top, surrounding the sword’s hilt, a laurel wreath inscribed within: “SOUTH AFRICA / 1900”. Below this, a dove with outstretched wings, facing downwards, holding a ribbon inscribed: “WELCOME HOME” in its beak. Legend around above: “CANADA’S (left)” BRAVE BOYS (right)”. At the foot, sprigs of maple leaves, and the maker’s name around the edge: “P.W.ELLIS & Co. TORONTO” Notes:The Toronto City Council authorised the silver medal as a tribute to returning soldiers. These have an ornate suspension bar and ribbon. A Queen’s crown is attached to the top of the medal. Two suspension rings are attached to the left and right of the crown. A pair of silver chains link through these rings to a silver suspension bar. The bar displays crossed rifles with a maple leaf in front. Behind is a ribbon inscribed: “TORONTO WELCOMES HER SONS”. A brooch pin is at the back of the bar and a rod to which is attached a broad silk ribbon which is intended to hang down behind the medal. Two different ribbons are found: either the ribbon for the Queen's South Africa Medal or a ribbon with five equally wide bands Gold-Red-White-Blue-Gold. The first units of Canadian volunteers from Toronto were in South Africa during 1900 and fought in the initial stage of the war and would have received the medal dated: "1900". Some remained behind joining other units or volunteered for a second time (only to arrive after peace had been negotiated). The less common tribute medal dated: "1902" would have been presented to some of these volunteers. The bronze meal issued inside a brown case lined with fitted purple velvet top and bottom. On the outside of the case in gilt: "TRADE MARK (divided by maple leaf) / DESIGNERS / AND MANUFACTURERS / OF MEDALS / (ornamental lines) / P.W. ELLIS & Co / 31 & 33 WELLINGTON / STREET EAST / TORONTO-CANADA-". The silver medal here was lot No. 796 on the Dix Noonan Webb auction of 13-14 Sept 2012 and sold for £600. Tribute medals paired with the QSA medal will have considerably more value.

Hi sludge, As they say in your country, nice try but no cigar. The suspender bars are decorated on the 3 medals shown. Yours is more plain. But thanks for trying ? Marcon1.
