Never even heard of the wound stripe before. I was under the impression that CF members didn't get jack for being wounded. Anyone have a description for the wearing of, or possibly even a picture of it?
its a stripe and you only get it if it was an enemy action tha caused these wounds it goes on the sleeve of you r deu tunic .. right by your trade badge ...... theres a few guys that have them here they could be better to help you then i
I received the wound stripe from my injuries when I served in the FRY. Our C.O at the time knew of the implementation of the stripe, and recommended my mate, and I to for the stripe. We were some of the first to received it (Injured 31/12/2004, and received it in 95).
It is not like the American Purple heart in that you wear it like a medal ( those that are more familiar with medals and orders may explain better than I can why that is) anyways, Mine is worn on my sleeve.
It is Gold with a black border, I will scan mine and upload it for all to see.
i got a unficyp medal for doing a cyprus tour,
then the cpsm for getting my first medal.
does this mean i can expect to get another medal for getting the second medal, and so on and so on?
Heh PPCLI Guy,
I got you beat on that one, received the ROK Presidential Unit Citation as part of the unit here 1 Oct 03, even with the accompanying grip and grin from Gen Laporte..oh yeah can't wear it, but it sure looks pretty.
Cheers
