CSW Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) This just got to me after a long wait.It is a named Pakistan presidential Police Gallantry Medal. The medal is a phosthumous award To a Pakistan Ranger with the rank of constable who along with other Rangers was killed in action in 1994.I am just at a beginning of my reseach into this medal and the recipient.The medal is named to (LATE) ALTAF ANWAR, C/1194.I will be adding more of the story of this medal when i find anymore info.This is one of my first world police medals which i have started to collect.If anyone can add any info to this it would be great.Sorry there was no ribbon with this medal and i hear it is a rare ribbon to get.If anyone knows where i can find a ribbon that would also be great Chris Edited July 21, 2011 by CSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Fantastic... do you think there is any chance of finding out what he did to win it, or the action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I would say to have a medal specifically for Armed Services or, Police killed in action is unusual. Offhand , I can't think of any other specific Countries. Have you asked Megan if she can help you. I would also suggest that you write direct to the Pakistan Police - explain you have his medal and ask for details and ribbon - tell them it will be shown publicly (which it will on GMIC) and will honour their Force.

oamotme Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Chris, The script on the obverse reads, "Qaid Azam Polis - Pakistan - Shja'at" (Great Leader Police - Pakistan - Bravery). Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
