Medal Help please

I was speaking to my brother this morning and he mentioned that he was entitled to the Queens Jubilee medal as he has served during the Queens 50 year reign. He was never issued one so how will he go about getting one?

Louise,
I take it this is the Queens Jubilee medal of 2002 you're referring to?

Entitlement was to members of the Armed Forces who had completed 5 years' service on 6 February 2002.
