The South Atlantic Medal

Instituted following the successful liberation of the Falkland Islands in 1982, the South Atlantic Medal recognises military personnel and civilians who served during Operation Corporate.

The medal was awarded for service in the South Atlantic Operational Area, with recipients who entered the designated combat zone around the Falkland Islands or South Georgia also receiving the distinctive rosette on the ribbon.

Today it remains one of the most respected British campaign medals of the modern era.
