That's great work tailor marc. I'm just about to send the first letter in regards to my Wife's Grandfather's medals. How long did it take for you to get a reply?

[tailor marc]

Thanks Alex, took quite some time. Around 8-12 months. One you get the letter saying what medals are going to be issued then it will only take 2-3 months

Tailor Marc: Well done! And more power to you for all the effort and patience it took. Dwight

Wow, the wheels of government move slowly. I better get off my butt and do it sooner rather than later. At least its worth the wait.

[tailor marc]

Yep well worth the wait.
I just got off the phone to Defence honour's and awards. I asked them about the other 2 medals. These 2 had to be signed off by the Govener General and was signed off last week and they are being made as i speak
I will post pictures up as soon as i recieve them
