This is a starting point: http://www.stephen-stratford.*co.uk/uk_medals.htm I think you'll find it means that the general aspect of the medal is made more specific by the "Iraq clasp" meaning that he saw service in that area. Christine |

Me again! Followed some links from Docs Online and found this: http://www.catalogue.nationalarchives.gov.uk/rdleaflet.asp?s LeafletURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecatalogue%2Enationalarchives%2 Egov%2Euk%2FLeaflets%2Fri2296%2Ehtm&lBack=-1 You'll need to remove the return-key entries I included to keep the thread a sane width.
