MERCHANT SEAFARERS VETERAN’S BADGE
The
Merchant Seafarers’ bravery and sacrifice in assisting HM Armed
Forces in military operations has been formally commemorated with
the launch of the new UK Merchant Seafarers Veteran’s Badge.
The badge is
available to all Merchant Navy seafarers and fishermen who served
in a vessel at a time when it was operated to facilitate military
operations by UK Armed Forces at any time.
The badge cannot
be issued posthumously as it is a survivors’ badge, which is to
be worn on civilian clothing. The only exception to this is for
Widow(er)s in receipt of a War Widow(er)’s Pension paid by Service
Personnel and Veterans Agency.
The introduction
of this dedicated badge for Merchant Navy seafarers and fishermen
means that applications by these individuals for the HM Armed Forces
Veteran’s Badge will no longer be accepted with effect from 27 June
2006. If an individual already holds an HM Armed Forces Veteran’s
Badge they may still apply for the UK Merchant Seafarers Veteran’s
Badge.
Members of the
Royal Fleet Auxiliary who served should continue to apply for the
HM Armed Forces Veteran’s Badge.
