~ The Korea Medal ~

The Korea Medal sometimes referred to as the Queen's Korea Medal to distinguish it from the United Nations Service Medal, is a campaign medal created in 1951 to recognise troops from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom who had given either one day's service in an air sortie over Korea, or 28 days service offshore, during the Korean War.

An award distributed across the Commonwealth, the Korea Medal holds a different place in each country's order of precedence for honours.

~ The United Nations Service Medal for Korea ~

The United Nations Service Medal for Korea (UNKM) is an international military decoration established by the United Nations on December 12, 1950 as the United Nations Service Medal. The decoration was the first international award ever created by the United Nations and recognised the multi-national defence forces which participated in the Korean War.
