THE ELIZABETH CROSS Died On Operations Recognition Award. Contributed by: Trevor STUBBERFIELD (52A) |
M.O.D.
Information. This new award has been created
to provide national recognition for the families of Armed Forces personnel
who have died on operations or as a result of an act of terrorism. The Elizabeth Cross and
Memorial Scroll are granted to the Next of Kin of UK Armed Forces personnel
who have died on operations or as a result of an act of terrorism in national
recognition of their loss and sacrifice. The Elizabeth Cross is not a
posthumous medal for the fallen but an emblem demonstrating tangible national
recognition for Service families for their loss. All eligible Next of Kin of
those who died between 1 January 1948 to date are strongly advised to apply. |
