The Arctic
Emblem was awarded in October 2006 to members of the
Arctic Convoys of World War II as a special award to mark
their bravery. Veterans campaigned for a medal rather than an emblem to be awarded but a decision was made in 1946 not to create any more medals for WWII campaigns.
The Arctic Emblem is authorised for wear on the lapel, or
above the left breast pocket, either on occasions when it is
appropriate to wear medals, or on its own with either formal
or informal dress. All those persons who served for at least
one day north of the Arctic Circle (latitude 66°32'
N) and west of the Urals between 3 September 1939 and 8 May
1945 in the Armed Forces or the Merchant Navy qualify for
the Emblem. |
