Rectify a disparity in MOD regulations over the use of Unit badges on memorials.
The three Services have their own rules for which names, Crests or Unit Badges can be used on private, family instigated memorials and/or their headstone, post mortem. The Royal Navy and Army state that any amount of service is acceptable, where as the RAF can require as much as 20 years service
For the Royal Navy and the Army, any previous amount of service is acceptable. The RAF requires that previous service falls into one of the following categories:
• had war time RAF service exceeding 6 months between 3 Sep 1939 and 8 Aug 1945. Or;
• completed 16yrs officer service. Or;
• completed 20yrs airman service. Or;
• completed a combination of officer and airman service exceeding 16yrs.
