Tim Wasnt there the Korean Service Medal which I think was a UN which was 50/53 if I am right Also the Kenyan Service Medal again I think 55/57 Cheers
There's definitely a Korean UN medal, it has yellow/blue stripes on the ribbon.
The Kenya medal might be the 'Africa General Service Medal' which has a Kenya clasp for service from 1955-56.
