[edit] Clarification Needed

IMO, as someone with no knowledge of the military, the following points about this article need clarification:

• In paragraph 2, a necessary condition for awarding the medal is given. Is this also sufficient for presentation? If not, what is?
• The first clause of paragraph 3 is ambiguous - is there no time limit on presentation of the medal, or on the duration of service required?
• If one could technically be awarded the medal for only a few days' service, did this ever actually occur? RMoloney 19:56, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I doubt any of those questions could be answered as this a medal from nearly 100 years ago. Procedures for presentation are also not normally recorded for service medals (they are typically simply handed out by a member's unit). Info on this article is all thats available from Institute of Heraldry and Foxfall Medals, the two primary info sites on military awards. -Husnock 21:16, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
