thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The 'untitled' comment above exactly matches my outlook. 
I would only add that I can find no mention of the Greece and Crete campaigns in the same sentence as a medal. As far as I know, the Africa Star was awarded to veterans of the G & C campaigns simply because there was nothing else around. 
So, why is there no mention of G & C in this article or any other on Wikipedia?
