Malaya Medal.

Just had a phone call, asking me if I had received the above medal.

I confirmed, yes. Received by post from the Military Attache in London. (3 Yrs. ago)

I surmised the caller was going to invite me to a presentation locally.

Regards  Doug.

    Well worth the wait Vic... go for it mate!
    Don, I don't think the fuss was about getting one more likely being allowed to wear one, officially that is. But seeing as HM has given permission for her loyal Australian subjects to wear one, I fail to see how she could be offended if we also wore one. I mean, it's not as though these are two different Queens is it now?
