King Charles LSGC’s….

[bigjarofwasps]

Will be interesting to see if all new LSGC’s will now look the same?
 

I assume that they will all have the  same uncrowned effigy now? 

 

I would be interested to hear other peoples opinions! 
 

Has anyone got any “pukka gen” information?

Anyone been awarded or even seen an example yet?

There is a thread about this on ARRSE about this, but it does not appear that anyone has been issued any yet?

I am aware from another platform, that a chap who qualified for his cadet forces LSGC on the 22nd of September 2022 has been informed that his medal is currently at his HQ. It has been confirmed as bearing the E11R effigy. Another chap qualified for his in December, but is still awaiting his. Will be interesting to see which effigy his bears?

The King appears to be going for simplicity in his official iconography. The new stamps have just been released:

 

No crown, not on his head or even anywhere on the stamp. It's the same portrait as on what coinage has so far been seem... so it seems likely that it will also be used for medals.

Interesting, thanks Megan. 

 

Surely medals can’t be much longer now, can they??

News just in…

Doesn’t appear that there are substantial “stocks” of military LSGC’s. Can only assume that the same is true for the emergency services. 

However, the following might be of further interest?

To answer your third question, I can confirm that no information is held determining a policy for 
when those qualifying personnel will attract award of the 'old' or 'new' style of medal. 
 
To answer your fourth question, I can confirm that no information is held on the timeline for 
procurement or issue of new LSGC medals at present. 
 
To answer your fifth question, I can confirm that no Information is held as no designs have been 
approved by His Majesty as yet.

Thought this might be of interest…

Oxfordshire’s Lord Lieutenant, Mrs Marjorie Glasgow BEM, attended the prestigious event to present ‘Her Majesty, The Queen’s Long Service and Good Conduct’ medals to eleven firefighters, each for 20 years’ service.

The Queen’s medal title has been retained this year, even though King Charles III is the new monarch – this is due to the individuals achieving their 20 years’ service in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and in line with the royal warrant.

Saw this on social media, thought it might be of interest?

 

Some bods from the RMP were presented with their LSGC’s the other day.
 

Unfortunately not possible to ascertain from the photos whether there Charles or Elizabeth medals. 

[bigjarofwasps]

Confirmation received that the, MOD are still yet to begin producing any King’s effigy medals.

 

Apparently there is already a backlog of 1500 VRSM’s. I would suspect that the regular services, must be in a similar situation by now, if not worse?

Additional information has come to light re the recent awards (none bars), that these medals still bear the E11R effigy, despite be qualified for 12 months into C111R’s reign.

Edited September 17, 2023 by bigjarofwasps

Appears that there is an official date for the military, whereby there will be a change of effigy from E11R to C111R. Although why the 1st October and not the 8th September, is curious…

Nice

[ccj]

It may be the scans but seems to have poor detail 

[Megan]

Possibly because they are miniatures, not full size medals. That's why I'm waiting on full-size medals for my website!

[bigjarofwasps]

If anyone is looking for miniatures?
