Indeed, I know thats long been the policy. I know theres been a lot of clamouring by veterans of the Yangtze incident, Suez and other small post 1945 wars for a campaign medal, and whilst I admire their wanting recognition I wonder where you draw the line - especially if participation entitles you to the General Service Medal.
