In addition to Mr. Spencer’s previously mentioned accomplishments, Roy is a GSSA Member and a Fellow of the AusIMM.

Serving members of the Armed Forces who have completed five full calendar years of service and were in active service on 6 May 2023. Told in Tom’s now trademark historically accurate style, and with obvious admiration and well-deserved respect for those whose story he is recounting, the story doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of war … Yet another brilliant story from Tom Palmer @richreadalot Introductory film Anyone who qualified for both the France & Germany Star and the Atlantic Star would be awarded the first Star earned, with a Clasp. A silver rose on the ribbon bar signifies the award of a bar. Why can’t I find what I’m looking for? The colours of the ribbon represent the 3 services. The star is worn with the dark blue stripe furthest from the left shoulder. Only one of the Atlantic Star, Air Crew Europe Star or France and Germany Star. Those earning more than one received the first qualified for, with the second denoted by the appropriate ribbon clasp. [7] [8] [9]
