Talk:National Defence Medal

QUOTE FROM WIKIPROJECT ODM
Non-English language awards The basic rule is that the names of foreign-language awards should be translated into English except where there is an established track-record of referring to it by its foreign-language name. Therefore we use Iron Cross in favour of "Eiserne Kreuz", Pour le Mérite in favour of "For the Merit" or "Merit Award", and Param Vir Chakra in favour of "Bravest of the Brave Award". This effectively means that the article will reside at the customary English-language name. Having said this, editors are encouraged to create redirects for all reasonable permutations and variations on the name, whether in English or in the native language.


 * There is no such record of referring to this award by its French name, the title was thus translated into English and should remain as such. Fdutil (talk) 17:36, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Removal of names.
I am not sure who went on and removed two recipients from the Bronze award but you are wrong for that. Kyle Hall and Scott Curtis earned their medal with the 3eme RPIMa in Camp Monsabert(formerly Abu Ghraib/Camp Liberty) Iraq in 2014-2015. They were present for the response of the French to the Bataclan attack in Paris and for the attack on the Iranian Refugees living in the old Camp Liberty barracks trailers in October that claimed the life of over 40 refugees and injured more than 100 civilians. They served as both LNOs and Security/Training/Advising the French forces training the 6th Iraqi Army Division in Baghdad and the Iraqi Special Forces.
