Dunkirk Medal availability
« on: Saturday 04 February 06 18:03 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know if I can still obtain a relative's Dunkirk medal and if so from where?
Relevent proof of service and entitlement obtained and waiting.

Thanks in anticipation

The Veteran's Agency site directs to the MOD medal site. I phoned them this morning and the guy there wasn't sure but told me to write as if it were a normal medal application. I'll do that and see what happens.
I'm not holding out a great deal of hope, the normal service medals and service history took nearly 18 months to come through.

best regards
Dave

Yorkshire Dave!

The thing is - even if you get it through "official sources" - you'll still have to pay  :o
And as a "Lanky" - if I want something bad enough - I'd rather pay than wait ......  ::)  seemed like a good site!!

Good Luck!

if i'm reading this right, the 'dunkirk' medal isn't anything to do with the MOD and it's a private purchase
