The style of naming on this medal indicates that this is a post-2014 issue, awarded after the qualifying period for the medal without rosette had been extended from 14 June 1982 to 21 October 1982. The recipient is believed to have served in the Hospital Ship S.S. Uganda, but this is not confirmed.
