US military insignia

[Chas]

One is a service ribbon correct? What are the others?

Is this to me Starhunter?

If so, the first (from the left) is the General Service Medal with the Northern Ireland Bar. I was a radio operator with a foot patrol. I was the only survivor when we were blown up by a car-bomb. I spent three weeks in a coma.

The middle medal is the South Atlantic Medal with the Silver Rosette. The rosette signifies active service on Falklands Island or South Georgia Island. We came under fire twice in one day. On the second occasion, a bullet parted my hair, just about where my bald patch is starting!

The medal on the right is the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal. I was recommended for this one by my Section, Flight, Squadron, Station and Group.

I was a very lucky Airman.

Yes. Very lucky.

I did not have any similar, except the general servise. We call it the basic service ribbon.

I do have overseas and a couple others, but not for combat. (greatfully)

I would have to look up what they are.
