well done Capn !
I am not a medallist - right side means? - foreign decoration.
Did he have to get the sovereigns permission? or is that only serving officers
Nelson commonly wore the Sultan's heavily jewelled award, which even THEN they complained about - also the last to wear his hat cross ways ( coming towards one like a ship in full sail)

eek its gone!
the medals the Capn has - and three bars....
certainly NOT a standard hand-out - two stars ( he has only one) and three gongs ( kings medal, defence medal, war medal) someone is gonna say I am wrong. - the capn has many many more
and boys and gurlz - the arctic convoys were remembered more for the PQ17 - the Germans sank the lot ! - even at the time l1942 ooked on as an awful disaster. Famours sixties libel case about it
