Link: Australian Medals and awardees
« on: Friday 20 April 07 23:16 BST (UK) »
Don't know if this site has been mentioned elsewhere, but it is very useful.
I was able to find out when and why a "distant" rellie was awarded an OBE.

Looks like it is a new one Bren.  It's really good.
Wonder if it should get pasted at the top of our board under the ''military research' heading. 
Do you want to do that so we have it there permanentlly?

No idea Bren! Hoped you would know.
Ask our moderator, grub, if she/he would consider putting it there for us I guess is the way.
