Now that's a good Adeni tribal name but what the heck is the ADP.
It's no little fly-by-night outfit - it had nearly 7,000 people - yet I can find no reference at all.
I haven't yet got it in my hand but I go have a fuzzy picture of the unit name and it all looks OK to me. Why would anyone fake something nobody's ever heard of?
Cliff? Anyone?

Eddie,
What about a swift note to the Medal Office, I am sure they still hold Medal Rolls in micro film. This would clinch it for you.
This office was brilliant when it came to providing my wife with her late father's and late sister's medals which had not been claimed after WW2. In addition to this she has also received the GSM 'Canal Zone' awarded to her late brother. They bent over backwards to help with these three individuals medals.
Give it a try, you may be surprised by the outcome. Good luck. Keep us informed please.
ORISKANY.
