Is this also the case for foreigners? (in this case Belgian)

JBFloyd Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I believe awards to foreigners are "honorary" and not Gazetted, but there is probably recommendation paperwork somewhere.
Tony Farrell Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 The MM also appears to be one of the French-manufactured 'demi-medailles', i.e. not the full size issue item.
