Diamond Jubilee medal. Open scope. National servicemen and Hostilities only personnel, before the passing of the National service Act, have received no recognition, although many served in dangerous situations, which did not qualify them for a campaign medal. The medal would cost pence, certainly a lot less than the recently issued lapel badge, cost. This may be the last time, men and women who served their Sovereign and country, can be acknowledged. Normally medals are issued to existing members of the armed forces and establishment figures. The rank and file are as usual forgotten. They to are proud and remember their service and devotion to their country.The government should use this opportunity to remember the service of a dwindling group of men and women.
This is a petition on the Prime Minister Website to widen the scope of the medal, being considered at this time Please consider signing it.
