PJM Medal




This is a recent photo taken of the presentation for the PJM Medal that took place in Shrewsbury, I had a phone call some time ago asking if I had received mine as they were putting together a list so I presume this is where I would have to have gone, but I told the gentleman that I had already received mine in the post nearly two years previously, so for those that may be waiting you may still be able to get it yet.

    All I can say Ray keep on to them by phone, don't give up ,you will get it in the end if you persist.

    As I said I had a phone call asking if I was still waiting by what I now believe was for the recent awards night.

    I received mine at a ceremony in New Zealand two years ago. I had applied for it in 2006. Fred at the NMBVA has done a lot of work to get these medals to people, but there seems to be a hold up in the manufacture of these medals in Malaysia.

    Yes Tom the NMBVA have to vet all applications for the PJM. However you don't have to be a member of this association in order to apply or receive one. As I understand it there are some 17,000 applications still outstanding so don't hold your breath!

    The PJM comes in a presentation box together with a miniature, ribbon bar and Citation Certificate. Most PJMers prefer to keep it this way and purchase a separate replica for wear. You can purchase a separate replica for approx £39 from one of the following websites:

    You can also purchase one from this (less expensive) Australian website for ($31.90 = £18.70 + postage? + vat?) This is where I purchased mine from and can thoroughly recommend them.

    Best of luck.
