Any new medals? Especially regional ones?

Ebola Medal and Rhodesia Medal sort of format so! Still, better than nothing at all.

Interesting! So it has a - very loose - link to officiality. Thank you for letting me know! It is a beautiful medal.

This seems to be an unofficial medal? But I'm not really sure. The "Unbreakable" Medal? Cool design though. https://prom.ua/ua/p1687854308-medal-nezlamnim-rosijsko.html

@Ura87 I couldn't say anything beforehand for OPSEC but I was in Ukraine today doing humanitarian aid work (Kamianets-Podilskyi), and they awarded me an MM14 camo fleece as a thank you. A gift that truly means the world to me. You have got a beautiful country, and an incredible people, and I look forward to continuing my full support for Ukraine. Hopefully we can have a beer together some day after the war.

BEM doesn't have an effigy. Just a cypher on the reverse.

ATO awards?

That's a lovely medal. What is the name of it? You will also get the Medal for the Defence of Ukraine too, and probably some city or regional ones too?

@Ura87if you don't mind me asking, could we see your own medal group (as long as it won't identify you)? I presume you're fighting this war too and I commend you. I'm currently doing refugee work on the Romanian-Ukrainian border helping Ukrainians.

Thank you. This is easily the most interesting medals thread I've ever followed. Fair play to you for running it.

@Ura87 any idea on this?

@Ura87 what is that one awarded for? Like any examples?

I wonder if they will do a medal for humanitarian work similar to the one during the ATO. Although naturally a LOT more people would be eligible for this. Or would they simplify this and award the Medal "for the Defence of Ukraine" Second Class to everyone, even if they were not involved in military aid but only humanitarian aid?

Rumour is same as QPJM but I'm a bit skeptical

Sacred Military Order of Saint George I'll send you a private message we should let this thread stay COVID focused

Have heard that the BEM is the first medal with the CIIIR effigy but have not seen any yet.

Word on the street is military tailors are gearing up for a mass issued coronation medal

I've always been curious about that order. How do people get admitted to it?

Malteser International Refugee Aid Medal recipient I see! I am a volunteer with the Order in Ireland.

Could someone post a TLDR of that link?

Unknown medal awarded to Chambliss Johnson. A former US Marine wounded in Ukraine. Any information would be appreciated. I will provide any updates if my mates in his unit get back to me.
