The New RN Facebook banner - Can anyone identify the medals on the 3 badge Killick, or rationalise the sequence?

Looks to me like:

GSM NI, NATO FY or KOSOVO (v small picture hard to tell), OSM AFG, Not Sure as the picture is small on Dii, QGJM, QDJM, LS&GC

Can you get a better zoomed in view of the 'rack'?

EDIT TO ADD: If the one I can't see properly is the Falklands medal (as it resembles in what I can see) then it is definitely in the wrong order!

Yep, it's a good old rack of medals - the one I can't suss is the middle one, either. Wasn't sure if he was a Silver Jumbilee medal holder as well & therefore one of the rarest racks in NATO, worth a few quid. It can't be the South Atlantic medal - or can it?

The enlarged shot just pixilates unfortunately (below).

It can't be Falklands the coin is gold coloured, perhaps it is a silver jubbly, he looks like he's done a few deployments! (and could do with cheering up a bit

)

Maybe it just needs a dhoby.

With regard the "cheering-up" aspect, feedback from the cutting-edge of Olympic security indicates that after working up to 16-hour days, a freebie to attend an undersubscribed sporting event is just the ticket

According to a post on FB, the guy has served 23 years, so unless it's the Iraq (2003-), I'm stumped.

Maybe RNR for 23 years; perhaps he had RN/RAF/Army service prior to that?

This crop any good?

The lighter blue one in the middle looks like UN Cambodia or one of those weird ones.

**Montigny-La-Palisse** · 31-07-12, 18:16

It is:

GSM, NATO FY, OSM Afghanistan (No clasp), QGJM, QDJM, ASCM, Undetected crime.

The outer of the OSM ribbon just looks odd next to the inner part of the QGJM in the picture.
