Today I have received a letter from the MoD stating that there is to be a review of the rules governing the wearing of foreign medals.
What they have not told me is when.
The letter is dated 5th August 2010 and signed by a Martin Solomon.
This is very good news, Paul, particularly as you have received confirmation that the Coalition have agreed an undertaking to review the medal rules. This means that the matter is of sufficient importance to warrant an 'undertaking'.
Perhaps the last 5 years work will eventually result in success for all PJMers. One thing is certain, life will never be the same for those who have gone to extreme lengths (and cost) in trying to defend the indefensible and, in so doing, have brought shame on this country and on The Queen. They have insulted Australia, New Zealand, the Gurkhas and, above all, Malaysia. Future generations of ex-servicemen and women will not have to undergo what PJMers have undergone and that makes our campaign very worthwhile.
