Description
Specimen clasp 'THAILAND' for the Australian Service Medal 1945 - 1975.
History / Summary
The Australian Service Medal (1945 - 1975) was established in 1995 to recognise service by Australian forces in peacekeeping and/or non-warlike operations not already being recognised by the award of an individual campaign medal. Operations considered for inclusion must have taken place between 3 September 1945 and 16 September 1975. The ASM cannot be issued without a clasp. The clasp 'Thailand' was approved primarily for RAAF personnel serving at the Thai Air Force base, Ubon, but also to members of 2 Field Troop Royal Australian Engineers serving at Ban Kok Talat during Operation 'Crown'. 1401 clasps were issued for service between 1 May 1962 and 31 August 1968.
