South Atlantic Medal Without Rosette

I would Like to see the Goverment of today to at last give the followig ships the RECOGNITION that they they deserve for the part that they played in OPERATION CORPERATE in 1982. The following ships set sail from the UK at the Back end of may and early June as part of the Falklands Task Force. They would arrive of the Ascensions from mid June onwards,then they would head straight down to the Falkland Islands and the TEZ. HMS BIRMINGHAM,DIOMEDE,SOUTHAMPTON, DANE,APOLLO,BACCANTE,BRECON,LEDBURY,ST HELENA,RFA OLWEN, RCT LANDING CRAFT ANTWERP,ARROMANCES RANGTIRA. ALSO many Men & Woeman of the ARMY AND ROYAL AIR FORCE and Merchant Navy. When we left the UK the, War/Conflict had not ended,so we were all exspected to join the already Brave Men and Woeman that had already gone south. They had fought a long hard war and many brave people were sadley lost who showed true professionalism and heroism. They had put the Great back into Great Britain and took the Falklands back. We served along side HMS INVICIBLE,BRISTOL in the TEZ and would return home some four weeks after them. Also the following Ships would arrive later HMS ILLUSTRIOUS,and many others she would take over the duty of Total Air cover from INVINCIBLE untill the runway in Port Stanley was repaired and extended to accommodate the RAF Phantoms who would arrive in October of 82. We did not accure the full 30 days sevice needed after the war but missed out on it by a matter of a few days but would be down for 5 months. Much work still needed to be done, mine fields to be cleared at sea and land runway put back into operation rebuilding of the falklands, and the falklands still needed to be defended and still does to this day. You can not do all of this in 30 days after the fighting has stopped. Conditions remained harsh and equipment was poor along with all the unexploded and mines and ordnance to deal with. This was all achieved with total professionalism and beyond the call of nomal dutie the goverment of the day in 82 and the Top Brass of all three Armed Forces should hang there heads in shame for the total lack of Recognition shown to the people who did not make the 30 days qualifcation period but made 20 days plus of all 3 armed services, IT WAS A WAR!! We do not ask for a South Atlantic Medal with Rosette, But one without. This is not in any way to undermine the existing members of the SAM with ROSETTE. The SAM without Rosette was awarded to sevice personel on the Ascensions 4000 miles away and back in the UK. We sailed as OPERATION CORPERATE FALKLANDS TASK FORCE and came home as OPERATION CORPERATE as well as those Army Regiments and also the RAF. They should make this happen even if its 30 years to late!!!
