The medal at the end is the Cadet Forces Medal, each clasp has the Queens crown.  I'm not sure you can stick a Kings crown clasp on to this medal?  Thoughts welcome.

A question if I may?  Those with long service medals issued under Queen Elizabeth, when due a clasp under the King, will this mean a new medal?  Can you put a Kings crown clasp on a Queens crown medal?

My understanding is that if your a serving officer (with 5 years service) on Saturday, you’ll qualify. Regardless of if your on leave or at the parade or not 👍. 

That is correct

I really hope this is the case rather than the post above saying people just directly involved!!!!! How reliable do you think your source is? Someone said on here that no contracts have been awarded so regardless of the truth, we will be waiting ages for them!

Talk about bearer of bad news!!! How reliable do you think your source is?

He's an OF3, same as me.  Info came from another bod.

The saga continues, with regards to the criteria for the KCM. 
Although, “sources” in positions of know, believe that it’s going to be limited to Royal household members, and military personnel directly involved. Establishes of anything between 500-5000 max. Certainly nowhere near, the mass issue of previous jubilee awards. I fear there will be lost if disappointed people, but at least EBay, won’t be flooded with them……

Was speaking to an Army colleague at the weekend and he tells me it is all serving personnel, no 5 year criteria.

More and more rumbles appearing about this being a very limited issue affair….

 

I was reading on another forum, about the company that make them, expressing concerns that time was moving on if a mass production was to be requested, in order have them produced in time……….

 

Having said that the Royal Mint are certainly in no hurry to release, any new medals either, so who knows? 
 

 

I'm sure there will be time, the QPJM issue was an absolute debacle.  My medal was presented in October 22, our Adj is still to get hers.

UK Commission on Covid Commemoration - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Perhaps a UK medal in this?

Anything new?

I have a feeling something will be announced when the dust settles around the current events.
