A question about the British military

[dogtag]

It took a year after demob for my GS medal to arrive {Cypress]
A while back I applied for my Canal Zone GS -my posting began one month too late for that one !!
I did get dysentery in Egypt; that definitely deserved a medal.
Oh well.

as an ex -british soldier I can confirm that all wounded servicemen with overseas postings recieved the VD and scar medal.

I'm not surprised, with our 'one pound shop' air force these days. Jump training for the Parachute Regiment has been abandoned, as Crab Air can't spare any a/c for them to practise, and many new people have gone off to their units and the war without ever having jumped at all.
