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 'Thai - Malay' was approved for service in anti-terrorist operations in the border region of these two countries between 1 August 1960 and 30 March 1966. 1071 clasps were issued.
