Subject=The PJM
I did 2 tours of duty in Borneo and Malaya, the second one resulting in my being casavaced. I travelled back to the UK with a number of Royal Marines and Army blokes who had a range of conditions from gunshot wounds and shrapnel wounds as well as hideous jungle ulcers. (I was actually photographed by 'Honey' magazine at RAF Lynham, being unloaded in a wheelchair, for a feature article they were doing).
I feel honoured to be one of the 32,000 veterans who endured danger and hardships in that campaign and I shall wear my PJM alongside my GSM knowing it was earned and not given out because of privilege or to some chinless wonder with the right connections. Tomorrow I will get my blood pressure back in shape by attending to my herb garden in the gorgeous Queensland winter sunshine. I hope we beat the ba-----s (Ed: Ink smudged here!).
