I just thought that you might like to know that the process is very easy. Download a form from http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/De...cationForm.htm
Fill it in and send it off with any relevant certificate copies (BMD). I did just that for my father's medals on 16th July, and I received the medals on Wednesday 6th August! I think that is great service as I had read on various forums that people had waited 6 months or more.
I am so chuffed Dad was entitled to 5 medals in total, and each one has come in a separate box along with the appropriate ribbons. He was awarded the 1939-45 Star, Africa Star, Defence Medal, Italy Star and War Medal 1939-45.
If anybody has not done it, please do as it is really good to receive some sort of recognition for what your rellie did for his/her country.
