Multiple Guess Competition

Competition 1 (Closed)

This was the first Multiple Guess Competition - it's now closed.

The correct answers were:

Question 1:

‘They’ say that one of the reasons we cannot wear the medal is because 'many' PJMers already have one for the same service and double-medalling is not allowed under British medals rules. In our Rebuttal do we say:

 

I don't know. I know I should, but I don't!

 
 

It’s true!   We've all got a gong for the same service!

 
 

Ten double-medals have been awarded since the start of WW1 (the time from which the MoD start counting).

 
 

More than 10 double medals have been awarded since the start of WW1!

True!

 

Question 2:

‘They’ say that they won’t allow the PJM to be worn because a “long-established” rule prohibits a medal for service more than 5 years ago. Is that true or false?   In our Rebuttal do we say:

 

I don't know. But I'm working on it ...

 
 

It’s true!   A medal has never been allowed for wear for service more than 5 years earlier.

 
 

Since the start of WW1 a couple of medals have been awarded for wear for service more than 5 years earlier.

 
 

Since the start of WW1 more than 2 medals have been awarded for wear for service more than 5 years earlier, including three in the 1990's

True!
 

Question 3:

Which wearable medal awarded by the British is only awarded as a double medal for the same service, and can be awarded for service not just more than 5 years ago, but up to 37 years ago, thus cutting across the twin myth used to deny us the right to wear thePJM?

 

I don't know. My head hurts!

 
 

None - It's a long-established British Imperials Honours rule that such medals must not be worn and the British stick to that.

 
 

Easy-peasy ... it's the Pingat Jasa Malaysia.

 
 

The British Accumulated Campaign Service Medal.

True!
 

And the winner is ...

Congratulions to Semengo13!
