      Does it replace the FCA one?


      Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

        I got it early 2011. Same front as the old medal, but has The Reserve Medal, RDF on the back.

          No Goldie

          If you qualified for the old service medal within its lifespan, and were awarded same, then that's you

          Anyone qualifying for same after 2011 gets the new one

          Only difference as far as I know is the inscription has changed...

              Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

                          7 years. Then 12years for bar & new ribbon, then a second bar for 21 years....if I'm around that long. Think PDF Service medal is 10 year & 15 years acquires a bar?

                            Thanks for trying the picture is just far to big to make out any detail, on your computer, open the picture, right click on the picture, open Microsoft Picture Manager, Click on Edit pictures, click on resize, Predefined width, click on "Web Large" option, you can also then click on percentage of original option to futher reduce if need be, then Save As, this should help with sizing issues.

                              15 years is bar and new ribbon in PDF.
                              "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
