Medal Identification

[Boris_Johnson]

Can anyone identify the ribbon with the rosette ?
(Fourth earned, first on lower row.)
The only one I can think of that he could have picked up, (born +/- 1982,) is the OSM Op Shader.
The blurb on the oke says he served in "Iraq, Northern Ireland and the Balkans," but that's from a red top.

It's a kak photo but at first glance the rack looks like, GSM 1962, UN Cyprus, Iraq, OSM Op Shader, Diamond Jubilee, ACSM 2011 and LSGC.

That's the HERRICK OSM. You got a bar for Helmand / Kandahar

Kabul etc, not so much.

The bar is represented by the rosette on the ribbon.

Pretty standard set. Although I note he has the "ACSM Lite".

I'm my day it was 1,080 days blah blah, this was all fields, chicken tasted like chicken...

Not to us. DoD turned down the Iraqi Reconstruction Medal.

You let get enough ribbons and medals

My bold. The HERRICK OSM comes with the AFGHANISTAN bar, not specific to any province.

Cheers, I couldn't see the colours on this screen.

I'm guessing the second is UNFICYP, although that hoofs the claim that he served in the Balkans - but as the statement came from the Sun I'm unsurprised

Ah yes, service towards Afghanistan whilst serving outside of the country awarded an OSM(A) without clasp.

I stand corrected

Probably egg and chips that he spilt from his breakfast, the fat cnut

I see that he's wearing the LS&GC. What does he have to do to lose it?

Pedantic mode engaged
It’s the OSM Afghanistan as there are more Ops than just Herrick it could be awarded for
pedantic mode disengaged

I think it’s the NATO Kosovo medal not UNFICYP

Didn't think you could once you have it, but that it would mean no clasp to it later.

Well the GC bit has now gone, unless of course he is a legend in the mess for pooing himself?

Of course you are correct - but it makes no difference to the medal and clasp awarded.

I even have one!

I don’t have one of those ‘sunshine medals’ as they were known. Only ever exercised in or transited through, Cyprus, mores the pity.

I think you're correct.

Must have had an interesting career. Went down south. Presumably on Invincible as he’s an aviator. Must have them joined the Australian Armed Forces and then come back to the UK and joined the reserve.
