Posthumous Medals For Supreme Sacrifice (EDM445)

Posthumous Medals For Supreme Sacrifice

EDM number 445 in 2003-04, proposed by Harry Barnes on 19/01/2004.

That this House believes that the supreme sacrifice of British servicemen and women who are killed in the line of duty, in war, peacekeeping or as a result of terrorism, should be acknowledged through a posthumous medal similar to the United States Purple Heart or the Memorial Cross of Canada and New Zealand, which can be presented to the next of kin and worn with pride on Remembrance Day; accepts that suitable criteria for such a medal need to be carefully defined and that this is best done by the Ministry of Defence in consultation with The Royal British Legion and forces' associations; and urges the Ministry of Defence to accept the policy and instigate such discussions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
