Kingdom of Denmark: The Defence Medal

Forsvarets Medalje

Ribbon: Red with two narrow white edge stripes.

Instituted: 27 November 1991.

Awarded: Service in a specific operation beyond the shores of Denmark.

The medal is unusual in that the same ribbon and obverse are used for all awards, but the reverse is specific to the operation for which the medal is awarded.

		I hope to add other 'reverses' as pictures become available. Other known ones are: - Den Persiske Golf 1990-1991 Kuwait 1991 Jugoslavien 1991-1992 Jugoslavien 1991 Dansk Flytningehjælp 1991-1992
Obverse	Reverse - Saudi Arabia 1991
