New Medal for Arctic Convoy Veterans WW2

[OldBraggs]

I didnt say that he didn't deserve recognition. I said that an Arctic Convoy clasp made more sense and was a more fitting tribute than an emblem. Also it is a fact that the Atlantic Star already recognised this service.

Steve, of course you are correct about the emblem, and it is a real pity that they did not award the clasp, as you say it would have made more sense.

However my purpose was to record that fact that this has been done, and to make sure those who may be interested know about it.

Hello and a belated merry Xmas and new year to you all.

my gt grandfather was a fireman on the M. V. Sitala when it was sunk by a U boat in October 1940, he was 62 years of age at the time and the only member of the ship that did not survive, do i take it that he would be entitled to this Emblem?


regards
