My time on the ice was from October 1959 until November 1960. I got out of the service in 1961 and had never received or seen what the medal looks like. I would appreciate the info. Thanks for any help forthcoming. The Antarctic Service Medal is awarded for one month of total service in Antarctica.
Service can be in pieces or in one fell swoop.
It is also awarded retroactively. What you will have to do is to get on the telephone and find out the procedure for obtaining the medal for those who have qualified for it. You will probably be passed around a bit, but when you figure out the procedure, I will publish it in the Polar Times and other publications so that others will benefit from your research. Here is fax-sim of Ice medal. The winter-over clasp changed from bronze to silver to gold.
