Regiment members in line for royal acclaim
Bermudians who have served in the Royal Bermuda Regiment will be eligible for special recognition, the Governor has announced this morning.
The Operational Service Medal can be claimed by anyone who has served since September 15, 1965.
“As Governor of Bermuda, and Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Bermuda Regiment, I am pleased to announce that His Majesty The King has approved the award of the first Operational Service Medal (Bermuda) for members of the Royal Bermuda Regiment,” Rena Lalgie said in a statement.
The regiment will make public the criteria and how to confirm eligibility in due course.
Ms Lalgie added: “I would like to record our appreciation for the extraordinary service on operational deployments at home and abroad that generations of Royal Bermuda Regiment men and women have given.
“You are a credit to our islands.”
