[BITList] New awards issued from the MoD

[John Feltham]

From a correspondent...



More obfuscation and downright meanness from the UK Govt.

So no to those that have been advocating a National Defence Medal but yes to:- 

'However, it can now be revealed that veterans of the Falklands War, the Berlin Airlift, and two conflicts in Cyprus (1955-59 and 1963-64) will also get new recognition by being able to qualify for a medal or a clasp'

There are some updates by the MoD on the various 'new' awards here
