The Australian Active Service Medal 1945-1975: The AASM was awarded for operational service in the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, the Indonesian Confrontation or the Vietnam War. Members must first qualify for one or more of the Korea Medal, the Naval General Service Medal 1915-62 with Clasp 'Malaya', the General Service Medal 1918-62 with Clasp 'Malaya', the General Service Medal 1962 with either Clasps 'South Vietnam', 'Borneo' or 'Malay Peninsula', the Vietnam Medal or the Vietnam Logistic and Support Medal. The establishment of this new medal followed on from the government's 1996 election commitment to the veterans' community to create a distinctly Australian award to recognise warlike service between 1945 and 1975. Those veterans who received, or have an entitlement to the Korean Medal, a General Service Medal for service in the Malayan Emergency 1948-60 or the Indonesian Confrontation 1962-66, are eligible for this Australian Active Service Medal 1945-1975. When the Prime Minister announced The Queen's formal approval of this Medal, he also indicated that the Medal would be extended to those personnel who have received the Vietnam Medal or the Vietnam Logistic and Support Medal. This Australian Active Service Medal 1945-1975 is placed at the same level as other war medals and the Australian Active Service Medal in the order of wearing medals. It is worn immediately after World War II medals but before the Korean War Medal, the General Service Medals, the Vietnam Medal and the Vietnam Logistic and Support Medal. Applications for this Medal can be obtain from the relevant service medals sections in the Department of Defence, Canberra.
And please note, this medal is now a superb die-struck (not cast) reproduction.
We don't 'nickel and dime' you by supplying scant, unusable riband lengths, or worse, making riband a hidden-in-the-fine-print optional extra - every medal comes with 250mm of riband (full size) and 150mm (miniature). Ample for a complete professional court mount.
