CANADA GIVES OUT FIRST BATTLE
CANADA GIVES OUT FIRST BATTLE HONOURS IN FIVE DECADES
Nice story, this. Certainly the fighters at the Medak (who, the article doesn't stress, were mostly reservists) deserve this. In addition to the unit honour, soldiers who were in the Medak pocket or in the initial relief of Sarajevo will wear the never-before-issued Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendation insignia centred on the left breast pockets of their uniforms. (I talked about the relative paucity of medals given in the Canadian Forces here and here.)
