Need a help: British awards in period of BoB.

S!

Not quite right Buzzsaw. The AFC/AFM were "issued for acts of gallantry while flying on non-active operations" [1]. This could mean a wide variety of things so long as gallantry was involved but not in the face of the enemy.

I provided this link in a previous post

http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/s...inmenu/group01

even though it is a canadian link the awards are all shown and is factually correct with photos

Nice link icewolf, but this shows many awards not relevant for SoW. For example, some are for Military Nursing or Civilians and some are not for the RAF (unless for RAF personnel on the ground/sea - again not relevant here.)

I compiled what I think is a complete and relevant list as at 1940 in an earlier post ... see, http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...41&postcount=7

of course not all medals shown are valid for sow but the link is important in that they will be factually correct in picture as well as description.I am not a fan of Wikipedia or some other web sites that may lay claim to the truth.
I had made a doc file that shows the valid ones which is available for download a few pages back
