We man Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Well done Russia for the respect shown today to our Russian Convoy Heroes and not for the first time giving them medals,70 yrs it took the UK to do it,say no more they will be remembered today and every day.
Walter swanston Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Typical of the Uk,I got my campaign medal from the authorities more than 50 years after I earned it
THE FIFER Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Typical of the Uk,I got my campaign medal from the authorities more than 50 years after I earned it was that the SUEZ medal
Walter swanston Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 I just looked at it.It says Canal Zone on the bar,I was there 1951 to 1953 before the actual Suez crisis, my friends were being murdered by terrorists who later evolved into freedom fighters.I'm still confused to this day but I know we were all forgotten about by the establishment.
