 * Comment: The status of the article as an orphan is irrelevant to whether or not it should be kept or deleted. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:24, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. One second-level decoration and two third-level decorations. I think that's enough for notability. WP:SOLDIER says two second-level decorations for automatic notability - I think two third-level decorations can be said to equate to one second-level. The MC and Bar is not given out in cornflakes packets. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:46, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per full obituaries in two serious national newspapers. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment -- We do not seem to have list articles for Lieutenant-Colonels commanding battalions. MC and bar (i.e effectively two awards of it) is not trifling.  The medal does come up with the pay! Peterkingiron (talk) 10:48, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
