No medal for Army centenary
November 27, 2000
Following discussion of a medal being struck to celebrate the centenary
of the Army, it has been decided to not implement the idea after much consideration.
The decision was made in line with the principles laid down by the report
of the Committee of Inquiry into Defence and Related Awards 1994, where
it states that normal service in the Defence Force does not, in its own
right, warrant a medal.
Therefore, there will be no medal struck to celebrate the centenary of the
Army.
