AlienFTM Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Does anyone know the history of medals and who started the award and when, and is there a list of the lowest medal to the highest medal awarded (VC) and what you get them for, I know most are for bravery etc. but I am not sure they all are I got a General Service Medal 1962 (Clasp Northern Ireland) for turning up - "For Campaign Service" as it says on the back - for 28+ days in 1976. By the end of 1976 I had also been awarded an UNFICYP Medal ("In The Service Of Peace", as it says on the back) for turning up to the United Nations Force In Cyprus and sticking around for a simlar period. Brave? Moi? Well I admit to supporting Sunderland AFC. Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
