#7 No more attendance medals for the rear echelon?

That's what I thought the Army Achievement Medal and ARCOM (that middle one on the top row) were for. Tour of duty completion awards.

#11 Yes, his name was Reckless and she was awarded the Victorian cross, the Dickin Medal, was buried with full military honors and commemorated by the marines with a bronze statue. It is quite a story and hopefully Peta will not deface her statue.
