Great service Stephen. Are HMPS awarding additional service bars for your LS medals, given the three 999 services now do? (HMCG have been doing it for ages!)

May I ask what your citation was for your MBE?

Cheers……John

I am hoping to hear re bars next year it can only be a matter of time.

Late to the wedding once again , I have already bought bar for my miniatures 30 years for when I have them court mounted in the new year it is a slide on so not paying twice
Full size are sewn on and have one ready also but a simple task to add

Re MBE send me email via pm

Regards
Stephen

Sounds like a pretty impressive rack to me let’s take a look.
Nothing for bravery in my group although like yourself I have been in some bad places over the years.
