Australian Logistic Support Forces Medals

Should demand increase and make it worthwhile, production will start  again. Adequate ribbon is available for both miniature and full size medals and a plentiful supply of the clasps are still available.

This commemorative Medal is dedicated to all personnel who served in Logistic Support in the Vietnam war 1962 - 1973.

This medal is sponsored by the Veterans Federation of the Republic of Vietnam in Australia, to show their appreciation for personnel who served in Logistic Support, in conjunction with their own forces.

The first recipient of this award was Sir Edward Dunlop AC, CMG, OBE, KCSJ, for his fine work in Vietnam, and this honour was bestowed on him at a ceremony conducted in Melbourne on December 7th 1991.

The person whose name appears on the back of this medal, served in the Logistic Support field in Vietnam, and as such should be proud of their service to their country.

This medals set comes complete with a miniature, 12 inches of full size and 6 inches of miniature ribband.

 The Far East Strategic Reserve Medals


NOTE: Due to the falling demand for the FESR Unit Commemorative Medal we no longer order the blanks x 1000 and have reduced our order to 25 at a time, which affects the cost price.
Our supplier is no longer able to source the ring ribbon bar attachment in figure A, for the small numbers ordered.
To solder the ring ribbon bar attachment to the medals is an extremely labour intensive procedure, which in turn will also increase the medals cost price. Therefore we have changed the medal ribbon bar attachment, to the horizontal type in figure B.
We are sure the new configuration will meet with your approval.
The price remains $65.00 the set, registered mail delivered to you.
Six of the Ring type medal remain in stock.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the RAN's involvement as an integral part of the Far East Strategic Reserve (FESR), the HMAS Sydney and the VLSVAssoc (Vic) has dedicated this medal to all of those that served on HMAS ships on the FESR.

Ministerial approval was sought and Navy Office have granted an 'Instrument of Consent' to use certain words/letters on the Obverse side of the medal, thereby making it uniquely 'Navy'.

The design of the medal is a very fitting one, with two uniquely naval motifs included in the design.  The first, the quarter compass rose, depicts the North West quadrant, signifying the direction of the 'Far East' in relation to Australia.  The second is the symbol of a canted and fouled stockless anchor, superimposed with a scroll signifying the RAN's involvement in the FESR from 1955 until its disbandment in 1971. The wreath beneath the anchor crown is representative of the eucalypt leaves of the Australian bush, and is in tribute to the memory of those that did not return from this service to their country.

The recipient of this medal, whose name appears on the Reverse side, served on the Far East Station in an RAN ship which was a unit of the Commonwealth Strategic Reserve.  And in the fine traditions of the Royal Australian Navy, they served Australia well.

This medal set comes complete with a miniature, 12 inches of full size and 6 inches of miniature ribband.
