Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many British servicemen and women were awarded the Gulf Campaign Medal for Operation Desert Storm in 1990-91, broken down by armed service. [148320] Mr. Caplin: Operation Desert Storm was the name given to the American operations during the Gulf War of 1990-91. The term used to describe the British operations was Operation Granby. The Gulf Medal 1990-91 was either awarded on its own, or together with one of two clasps which were attached to the medal ribbon and acknowledged specific periods of operational service. The details were published in Command Paper 1627 which the then Prime Minister presented to Parliament by Command of Her Majesty The Queen, in August 1991. A copy was placed in the Library of the House. As far as can ascertained from records held by the Ministry of Defence's four single service medal offices, a total of 59,687 medals with and without clasps were issued to Service personnel, including those people recalled to the Armed Forces from the Reserves for service during the conflict. The distribution of these medals can be broken down as follows: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Service Medal only Medal with clasp 2 Medal with clasp 16 Total August 1990 January- 28 February 1991 Royal Navy 2,409 Nil 3,942 6,351 Royal Marines 130 Nil 407 537 Army 4,093 46 34,692 38,831 Royal Air Force 5,673 20 8,275 13,968 Total 12,305 66 47,316 59,687 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
