New naming protocol for British military medals

[dpk]

Just for info and reference, saw on the OMRS site that naming format on military medals has been changed as follows:

• Old format- military number, rank, initials, surname, regiment or unit
• New format- rank, initials, surname, regiment or unit, military number.
• Has apparently been in place for a few years.

Of interest only but maybe a similar change will flow on to police medal naming??

Oh dear Lord, I hope not 😱.
 

The only change to the naming of police medals, would be to include the force they served with. Really can’t understand why this hasn’t been in place since day one, if I’m honest.

Wouldn't that be a boon in researching police medals!!

I would suspect, that there is some "woke" reason begin this change, perhaps? People not being numbers or the like......
