From the late 30’s until 1960 men in the UK were forced to undertake 18 months service in one of the branches of the armed forces.

In the late 90’s an entire industry grew around creating what is nicknamed “tin medals” so that the purchaser and correct some perceived oversight in official recognition. Usually I avoid these like the plague but this ones named to LAC 3137291 J.A.Burchell RAF. So in the sack it goes!
