When your Mum is the person responsible for handing them out you have no need to buy them, simply ask Mummy for any that take your fancy.

The Prince of Wales spent 20+ years serving in various military branches that he will be the head of once he becomes King. His last assignment was as Commander of the HMS Bronington, a minesweeper. He was also a helicopter pilot and a marine. There were no wars at the time,but he served many tours of duty where those medals were earned. My father, a veteran of World War II and The Korean War would also like to point it out to a younger generation who doesn't quite seem to understand it: When you are a sailor, a soldier,or a marine or in the air force, you are an employee of your government and you go to where you are sent and do what you are commanded to do;you are not on vacation and you have a job to complete otherwise there are consequences to pay!

it relatively is not a call for to be in wrestle to rack up a team of medals. I spent a number of years interior the defense force and in no way observed wrestle yet I even have a number of ribbons/medals....reliable habit medal, nationwide protection medal, fulfillment medal, and so on. a number of my ribbons/medals are provided to the completed command no longer in basic terms a single man or woman. it relatively is the way it relatively is interior the US defense force to boot as a results of fact the united kingdom. particularly situations you get a medal basically for the reason which you're interior the defense force or in a command for the period of a definite time. WW2 Victory Medal replaced into given to all of us in defense force even those "commanding a table" back in Washington DC. There are some ribbons given out for marksmanship with a pistol or a rifle.

Why do people like you enjoy showing their ignorance? It's "Prince Charles" I would suggest you take some English grammar lessons before posting again.

It is an Honary title he is given, passed down by the System. I dont suppose he wants to wear them but as its part of tradition he has to put up with it all. Dont blame him, because of his Heritage, and I do not doubt he for one has to toe the line. We are in this Country proud of our traditions which lets face it are something that other Countries do not have. They have other means of rule which is not of our own taste. Be grateful you are not under those .
