Additional information

INFO

Comments: Apart from the UN Korea and UNEF medals, there have been numerous awards to personnel who served in one or other of the UN peace-keeping actions around the world since the end of the Second World War. The all-purpose medal has been awarded with various distinctive ribbons for service in many of the world’s trouble spots. Two versions of the medal exist: globe flat (European) and globe raised (US version). Issues to South African Personnel are named. Eligibility is generally 90 days, but some missions were 180 days. Subsequent awards for each six month tour completed with the same mission are indicated by a silver numeral affixed to the ribbon. Those serving more than one tour of duty are authorised to wear an arabic numeral on their ribbon to indicate this. Service for these medal(s) does not count as qualifying service towards the Accumulated Campaign Service Medal.
