The purpose of this thread is to collate the different styles of naming of QSA awarded to RN sailors and NCOs. There is a separate thread for the naming style to RN officers .

BB&M suggests that RN medals are named in an impressed style similar to Army QSAs and also in a impressed serif font.

Please upload examples so that we can the variety of styles.
