Anyone had any luck acquiring the Arctic Star. Cant remember exact time for sure but sent for one back in June. Thought it may take a while but thought it might be quicker than this. Makes you wonder if its lost in the mail. Cheers Brian

I saw one being presented at a veterans day event back in July.

Last week they presented about 20 at an event at the Council where I work.

What has really annoyed me about this award, and others, is the fact the the government waited until most of the veterans were deceased.

We had a representative from the Russian Embassy to present the awards last week and all the local MP's were present.

Unfortunately the local Sea Cadets could not produce a single Cadet or Adult.

E-mailed them but they wanted me to phone to confirm my identity. (not sure how they would do that) Number didn't work from Canada but Contacted them again and said I just wanted to know if they received the application. They had not received so sent another today, hopefully it will get there. Cheers Brian
