The Australian
Service Medal 1945-1975 was established in
1995 to recognise a large number of
Australian service personnel who did not receive any award for their
non-warlike operational service in the period 1945-1975.
The award's aim is to recognise service in prescribed peacekeeping or non-warlike operations during the period 1945-1975 where recognition had not been extended previously through an award. The reverse of the Medal features the Federation Star overlaid with a plinth on which the wearer's name is engraved. The obverse and reverse are decorated with clusters of mimosa blossoms symbolising the presence of Australian service personnel in overseas peacekeeping. The ribbon has bands of dark and light blue, khaki, green and gold. Photo www.cqms.com |
