Just a quick comment. I was always told that the only countries that officially named their WW2 medals were: Australia, Canada and South Africa.
I've also seen Indian issues "named" but they look as if they were done by a local workshop, using those number and letter sets that we played with in metalwork class! In other words, they are often very uneven and irregular.
I have seen a nicely engraved set of NZ medals but these would have been privately done.
