No origins other than the first thing that came into my head I'm afraid.

That's as I thought, although some people have told me that even though it initially acts to disperse water, it later attracts it. I don't see how this can be the case to be honest.

I'm an aircraft engineer, and I can tell you that WD-40 is NOT used on aircraft as it promotes corrosion!

cheers, Rik

Thankyou for that Herrgeezer!!

It proved to be very informative!!

Just thought I would set this up and see how it goes. I saw a lot of bumper stickers recently in the States "supporting the troops" thought I would give it a go.

If I actually make any money!!!! I will donate a hefty proportion to the RAF benevolent fund

The Bundeswehr (That is Heer,Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine) is not a PURELY conscript army, it has a great many "regular" troops the conscripts make up a small low end contribution. On a personal note I think its a bloody good idea.

Cheers, Rikster

Yes its an original. heres the back.

Not an award as such, but just thought it may be of interest

Cheers, Rik

Yes.

Never  seen  any  photos  of  it  being  worn,  and  the  date  of  its  institution   makes  it  another  of  those  awards  existing  on  paper  which  stayed  that  way.

Stayed on paper until 1957

Cheers, Rik

The award did exist as a 1957 award,
